Pte. Charles Frederick Lickiss
British Army 9th Battalion The Duke of Wellington's Regiment
from:Husthwaite, Easingwold, Yorkshire
(d.21 December 1915)
Charles Frederick Lickiss is my 1st cousin 3x removed and when I started researching about him, I discovered that so little is known. I haven't been able to find a picture of Charles but I did find references to him in military records.
He died at the 1st Canadian General Hospital in Etaples, France. He is buried in the Etaples Military Cemetery, part 4, Etaples, France. He was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. When he died he had 3 pounds, 16 shillings and 3 pence saved and this was transferred to his mother Rosamond Lickiss, maiden name of Batty, who was living in Husthwaite, Yorkshire.
The Husthwaite Historical Society is researching their soldiers as well.
