Bmdr. Frank Briars
British Army Leicestershire Royal Horse Artillery
from:Leicester
My Grandfather Frank Briars was born on 23rd May 1898 in Leicester. Two of his older brothers, Charlie & Ernest, were conscientious objectors.In 1914 Frank lied about his age, saying he was 18 (rather than 16) & signed up to join The Leicestershire Royal Horse Artillery. He would not talk about his experiences but was awarded The British War Medal & Victory medal His Number stamped round the rim is L28901 BMBR F Briars RA (Royal Artillery)
Any information about where the Leicestershire Horse Artillery fought in WW1 would be of interest. He survived the war and died in 1969.
