![]() AIF letter dated 1/6/18 to Frederick's next of kin about his injury. From Frederick’s service record1. ©National Archives of Australia |
Frederick’s service records show that he was placed as reinforcement in the 1st Field Company Engineers2 (1 FCE). The diaries for 1st Field Company Engineers are listed in date order. Frederick’s service records show that he was wounded 8 May 1918. The war diary for May 19183 notes the company is in Pradelles near Hazebrouck in France, at this time. The entry for the 8 May is very brief noting no new (engineering) works and that one soldier was wounded at Le Roukloshille. This information matches Frederick’s service record. |
