Sgt. Frank Pollard
British Army 13th Btn. Rifle Brigade
from:Rothwell, Northants
(d.23rd August 1918)
Frank Pollard was a Christmas Day baby, born five months after his father's death in a train crash. He was looked after by his sister who was six years older than him as their mother had to go to work after her huband's death to support her four children. Frank was reported missing in action and the family never really knew what had happened to him. In fact, he was shot by a German sniper en route from Achiet le Petit to Achiet le Grand, part of the final push against the Germans.
