Fred Burden Kings Sergeant

[robert burden]

Hi, am trying to research more about my grandfather Fred Burden who was in the KRRC 19TH reserves TR Battallion 53727.

I understood he fought at the Somme as a Corporal and after his senior ranks were killed he led the men back to friendly lines and was made a King Sergeant.

He was originally from Waltham Abbey in essex and joined up in 1917.

Any info would be appreciated.

Robert.

Signed up at the age of 17 years old and 11th months on the 11th April 1917. ( Battle of the Somme was 1st July 1916). Cannot make out the records but he was posted to 12th KRR on 7-4-1918. He ended up with the labour corps and is listed as 448094.

Have you ancestry?
