Pte. Frank Chew
British Army 12th Btn. Manchester Regiment
from:Austerlands
(d.7th July 1916)
Frank Chew is my great uncle Frank. I came about this information while researching my family tree and found he had been killed in the Great War on the 7th of July 1916. I think it was the Battle of Albert were he fell and traced him to the Thiepval cemetery and monument were I think that his name is on.
I was confused because my father was also called Frank and never mentioned him. When my father passed I found a medal from the First World War and I think they call it a death plaque and a note from Buckingham Palace.
That's as far as I have got but will try to find more. Last year someone laid a wreath and photograph of him at the house in Austerlands where he lived but couldn't find out who did this. So anyone who reads this I would be most appreciable if they could forward me more information.
