Granddad left behind a wife and 3 children, my mother was the eldest and would be 9 when he left Manchester. Another daughter Florence age about 4 and a son Frederick Arthur, who was a baby. He volunteered with the Manchester Pals, did his training at Heaton Park and then embarked for France where he died at the battle of the Somme, 1 July 1916. Thank you Granddad for your sacrifice, I never knew you but you are loved and remembered. RIP.
