Pte. Fredrick Kirby
British Army 2nd Battalion Queens Own West Kent
from:Birmingham
(d.14th Nov 1943)
My uncle, Fredrick Kirby, died in 1943. He was a Lance Corporal in the 70th Dorsets and in the Summer of 1941 boxed for the Regiment as bantam weight and won a trophy. He could have a good career but transferred himself to active service as a private in the Royal West Kent. He died in action on the 14th or 15th of November 1943. He is remembered in honor at Athern Memorial. I wonder if anyone has any informaton about him?
