FRICOURT Posted 26 March , 2004 Share Posted 26 March , 2004 My grandfather was batman to Lt Col Sharp and every Christmas up to the mid 1930's Mrs (Lady) Sharp used to send him a few pounds and a Christmas cake. I have tried in vain to find details of the family, where they lived and local newspaper obituaries to the father and son. Last known address was Wimbledon but the Libraries Dept there have no trace. Lt Col Fredrick Leonard Sharp CMG , 39th Brig, RFA. KIA 13.8.16 age 49. Burried Danzig Alley, Mametz. CMG 1915 after 30 years in army. My grandfather was also wounded around this time. Son : Lt Fredrick Arthur Hamilton Sharp, also 39th Brig, RFA. KIA 30.10.18. Burried La Vallee- Mulatre Comm Cem Ext, France. Can anyone help please.
