Pte. Frederick Robinson
British Army 2/6 Btn. West Yorkshire Regiment
from:Leeds
Fred Robinson traveled to Bradford from Leeds, Woodhouse district in 1915 to volunteer, though he was not called up until January 1916. He went to France with the battalion in January 1917 and saw active service.
He was rated as a sniper with a crossed rifle badge on his forearm. At some time he was wounded, probably from the 8 inch scar, by shrapnel and evacuated to England for treatment. One day, as we passed through Milton on Sea, he informed us that he had spent time recovering there. He transferred to the York and Lancaster Regiment when the 2/6th was disbanded.
