225510 Sgt. Frederick Christian Richard Bennett British Army 4th Btn. South Wales Borderers from:Walthamstow, London (d.9th Aug 1915) Sgt Frederick Bennett is my wife's great grandfather. He was originally in the 2nd Battalion, but had left by the time war had broken out. Consequently, he was recalled to service and allocated to the 4th Battalion. He was promoted to sergeant and was responsible for training new recruits. Little is known of any further military service as his records were destroyed in WW2. However, we do know that on 9th August, two attacks on their position were made by the Turks and that in one of those he was killed. We have photos of his gravestone in Hill 60 cemetery and a family member has been there this year (2015). We know that somewhere in the family there is a photograph of him, but as yet it is untraced.
