222061 Pte. Frederick Garrington British Army 13th Btn Gloucestershire Regiment from:Birmingham (d.12th July 1916) Frederick Garrington was my great grandfather. He was my maternal grandfather's father. It wasn't until I researched my family tree that I discovered his fate in the First World War. When he enlisted he was a forty year old father of eight and was a brass moulder by trade in Birmingham. He died of his wounds on the 12th of July 1916 aged 41 and is buried in the town cemetery in Bethune. On questioning my mother she said that her father, [Frederick's son] had never mentioned anything about his father's fate and came as a compete surprise to her and her sisters.
