Other Information:

Frederick lived in Birmingham. He was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He has at all times, and especially during the operations of the Fifth Army from St. Quentin. to Amiens, shown a splendid example of energy, fearlessness, and devotion to duty. He has inspired great confidence in his men, and has displayed high qualities of endurance, initiative and resource when acting independently in charge of bearer parties owing to the temporary shortage of officers". He was awarded the Bar to the Distinguished Conduct Medal "For conspicuous gallantry and untiring devotion to duty. He has been in command of all the forward ambulance work during the whole of the recent operations from Vendegies to Mareschies - 24th October to 2nd November, 1918 - and refused relief, until the fighting was over. On 26th October, during the attack on Sepmeries, he led the way through the hostile barrage, and was personally responsible for dressing and collecting fourteen severely wounded men, and ultimately brought them all to safety." He also received the Territorial Force War Medal. After leaving the RAMC, Frederick became involved with the St Johns Ambulance Brigade & worked with them for many years. He was exteremly well regarded by the local community for his work with St Johns & for treating sick animals, and when he died his cortege had a procession attended by St John's personnel and by many locals, which stretched for several hundred yards.
