205791 Pte. Fred Thomas Bennett Keeton British Army 9th (Service) Battalion Seaforth Highlanders from:Beighton, Nr Sheffield. My Grandad, died before I got any chance to talk to him about his war experiences. It was only after his death that I became aware of his service. He joined up on 10/05/1915 and served throughout the war 'till his demob. I have seen his medal record and although they are the ones they all received they still make me proud. I would love to know more about him but fear that will no longer be possibloe unless he was mentioned in a war diary somehwere. But its very good to know that although he would have spent much of his years digging trenches etc. he could have also been involved in heavy fighting as well.
