Capt. William Wesson Frith CdeG.
United States Army 169th Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Kent
(d.3rd Nov 1917)
Captain William Frith, my grandmother's cousin, was posthumously awarded the Belgian Croix de Guerre and made a Chevalier of the Order of Leopold but finding out why has proved difficult. He was the son of William Longhurst Frith and Mabel Anna Frith; husband of Daisy Alice Frith, of The Cottage, Beaverwood Road, Chislehurst, Kent. He was aged 35 when he was killed in action in Belgium, and is buried in Steenkerke Belgian Military Cemetery.
