Pte. Fred Green
Royal Army Medical Corps 60th Field Ambulance
from:Rawmarsh
Fred Green was a stretcher bearer in the 60th Field Ambulance, RAMC. He had a girlfriend at home, my Great aunt Elizabeth Schofield and they married in 1922. Fred didn't enjoy good health and didn't have any children. He traded as a Boot Repairer and Fish Fryer and had his own premises. He doted on my father, his nephew. Post WW1, at some time in the 1930s, he took him and family members to Ypres to show them where he had served. Sadly we don't have a photo, but I have his medals and his bible. We remember him each Armistice Day.
He described a song, sung to the tune of The Church's One Foundation. "We are Fred Karno's Army, The RAMC, We cannot fight, we cannot shoot What bloody use are we?"
