Biography
Fred appears on the School War Memorial, confirming that he attended the school. Parish records suggest only one man of this name who could have served, and he was born on March 20th 1900 to Charles and Eliza Sarah Furr (née French) who seems to have commonly been known as Sarah. In all it would appear that four brothers or half-brothers served and survived - refer to George French and Albert Furr for more family details.
He is recorded in the Parish Magazine of November 1918 as ‘enlisting recently’ and serving in the Queen’s, so Frederick would have been eighteen years old when he enlisted.
