Pte. Frank Arthur Proctor
British Army 10th (Stockbrokers) Battalion Royal Fusiliers
from:Mitcham
(d.25th August 1918)
Frank Proctor was born on 2nd of October 1899 in Surbiton. He joined up on 13th of January 1917, aged barely 17, only 5 foot tall, weighing 6 1/2 stone, a mere boy. So very sad.
His younger sister, Nancy, used to talk of him with great affection. He was killed right near the end of the war, at Favreuil, on 25th of August 1918, and is buried at the Railway Cutting Cemetery at Courcelles-le-Comte in France.
His nephew, Clive Strutt, laid a wreath on his grave on the centenary of his death. We wish we could have known him. Rest in Peace, Uncle Frank.
