Pte Frederick Hugh Nicholas
British Army 9th Battalion Welsh Regiment
from:Neath, Glamorgan
(d.21st Dec 1915)
From Letters to my Grandmother, who was Frederick Nicholas's cousin, I learn that he joined in about October 1914 and died in December 1915 aged 21. He had been attending Cardiff University. He told her in some detail about life in the trenches, the French countryside, what they were expecting the outcome to be and his hopes. He also mentioned what it was like when the King and Lord Kitchener visited the regiments in training. His last letter in my possession was in mid September 1915 so we have about 2 months missing before he died on 21st of December 1915.
