Robin Garrett Posted 10 April , 2019 Share Posted 10 April , 2019 On 08/08/2009 at 18:38, Marc Thompson said: 12989 L/Cpl Frederick Charles PRAGNELL 14th (Service) Battalion (1st Portsmouth), Hampshire Regiment Died of wounds 19/10/1916 aged 26 years of age. Subsequently buried in Petersfield Cemetery, Hampshire Regimental casualty list published November 1916 records Frederick Pragnell as wounded in action (shrapnel wound to the face and head), Wharncliffe War Hospital., Middlewood Road, Sheffield. Most likely wounded in action on 3rd September 1916 during attack by 39th Division at Hamel. Born: December qtr 1889, West Tytherley, Hampshire Son of Robert Charles and Rosa Kate Pragnell Enlisted: Emsworth, Hampshire in early September 1914 Residence: Portsmouth Marc I have come to this thread very late (only ten years behind the curve). Pragnell (was) is a very common name in West Tytherley and three Pragnells are recorded on our war memorial - Arthur, Ernest and Gilbert (MM). It is interesting that Frederick whom Marc records as being born in the village, wasn't recorded; it must have been known that he was killed. Others recorded on the memorial seem to have less close connections to the village than Frederick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
