My Great-Grandfather Pte John Fenn served with the 10/11th H.L.I 33964. I know nothing really about him. From his medal record he seems to have served from 1914-1920. I have a postcard type photo with his name, number and regiment are written in pencil on the back. Written next to it is the name G Waugh 33977 - which I assume is someone he knew?

L/Cpl. Frederick Samuel Fentem
British Army 1st Battalion Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derbyshire) Regiment
from:Matlock
(d.19th Jun 1919)
I came across Fredrick Fentem, a Great Uncle, when tracing my family tree. I always knew he had died in the First Wold War, as my grandmother (Nanny) named my dad after him so I heard his name quite often.
I hadn't realised he was a professional soldier having enlisted in 1907 at the age of 18 years, and at his death was a Lance Coporal. Frederick died in Flanders, France in 1915. I think Nanny grieved the loss of a favourite younger brother.

Another Matlock Loss.

Mr. and Mrs. T. Fentem, of Matlock, were notified on Tuesday that their son, Lance-Corporal F. S. Fentem, had been killed in action. Deceased, who was 27 years of age, joined the Ist Sherwood Foresters seven years ago last October. He had been at the front virtually since the beginning of the war. He spent five day's leave at home last summer.
The intimation was in the form of a letter from Lance-Corporal Lee, which reads as follows: "I sadly write to inform you of the death of your son, who was killed outright by a shell, along with two more poor souls. It happened at about 5p.m. on 19 June. The whole company send you their deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved one, for he was liked by all".
