Pte. Frederick Charles Robinson
British Army 11th Btn. Royal Fusiliers
from:Stratford, Essex
According to his records, my grandfather Frederick Robinson appears to have been caught in the middle of the army mixing him up with his brother and losing his identity papers, eventually he had to give the army his recollection of his record as he remembered it in order to get his medals and pension.
When I was a teenager in the sixties Fred suffered a nervous breakdown, which the psychiatrist, who treated him, said was the suppressed war memories coming to the surface. He recovered and was always an affable and loving grandfather.
