242161 Pte. Frank Spence British Army 2nd Btn. Middlesex Regiment from:North Shields (d.1st Aug 1917) Frank Spence is my Great Uncle who died at the Battle of Pilkem Ridge, 1917. I found out about him when his sister, my Grandmother died. She always sat with his Death Medal hanging on the wall beside her. On her death when family gave me this medal I was surprised as to his name, as my Grandmothers maiden name is Baptista. It then came out that when WWI started Frank like so many others joined up, but somewhere along the line he deserted. Guilt made him sign up again under a false name into the 2nd Battalion, Middlesex Regiment. On the War Graves Commission website, it states that his Next of Kin is my Grandmother and her address in Wandsworth London.
