Cpl. Fredrick Charles Hildred
British Army 2/6th Btn. King's (Liverpool) Regiment
from:Bootle
My grandfather, Fredrick Hildred, was a corporal in the 2nd/6th Liverpool King's Own Rifles. He joined up in 1915 and went to France in January 1917 with the 2nd line battalion and I believe operated near the town of Armentieres. He was wounded by gas in August of the same year and invalided out of service. The basic dates of his service are listed with others in a book by a Cpt. Wurtsburge, but no specific details of his service and injury are mentioned. It would be nice to learn in greater detail of the events of the time and my grandfather's experiences, so if anyone has any other information it would be appreciated.
