Pte. Frederick James Curnow
British Army 1st/18th (London Irish Rifles) Btn. London Regiment
from:Knightsbridge
(d.11th May 1916)
Frederick Curnow was one of my grandfather's elder brothers, born 19th of Apr 1895 at 19 D'Oyley Street, Chelsea, London to Frederick & Annie Curnow.
We don't know much about his Army service except that he was killed in action. The family say his mother was so upset that she died of a broken heart 9 months later. His father being left with several young children was forced to split the family up between various relations to cope.
There is no known grave but there is a memorial to him at Faubourg-d'Amiens Cemetery on the Arras Memorial.
