Fus. Frederick Stephen Newton
British Army Royal Irish Fusiliers
Frederick Stephen was my father-in law born in 1910 in Stanstead, Herts.
He was called up and sent by train from London to Carlisle where they caught a boat to Ireland. On the boat he still had civilian clothes on when they said put your life jackets on because German U boats have been spotted.
He was in the Infantry. On his marriage cert in 1943 it says Fusilier.
He got called up as he was in the building trade I think in 1942.
He served in Ireland during the war with the Royal Irish Fusiliers.
He survived the war. I don't know any more.
