Frank was my second cousin once removed. Before the war, he was living at 3 Quebec Street, East Dereham, Norfolk with his parents and his sister, and was working as a draughtsman. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find out details of his time in the army. I know that he was taken prisoner and died of his wounds. He is buried in Kanchanaburi War Cemetery.
