Pte. Frederick Gordon Smart
British Army 4th Btn. Bedfordshire Regiment
from:Luton
My grandfather, Frederick Smart did not talk about his experiences during World War One, I think it was too distressing for him, but I know he told my father he was a prisoner of war. He was apparently captured, although he was not wounded, although I know he had suffered a wounded knee and a sniper's bullet through the front of his neck, just under his chin. Today, on the 11th November 2018 I found evidence from the ICRC website. He died in 1985 aged 89.
