Biography
Frank 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 in 1888 or 1889 to William and Jane Hare (née Hall). So he would have been about twenty-five at the outbreak of war. Baptism and census records list ten children: Anne (bapt 1879), Arthur (b c1881), Fred (b 1883), Henry (bapt 1884), Nellie (b 1887), Aleaner (perhaps Eleanor? b c1887), Frank (b 1889), Edith (b 1892), Bessie (b c1895) and Ruth (b c1899).
