Len Trim Posted 8 November , 2009 Share Posted 8 November , 2009 The other day I read a reference to Frank Richards and one of the postings mentioned that he was also known as ? I meant to come back and read it later and try and find out what it was on about, but now I can't even find the posting. It's even possible it was not on this forum. Anyone point me in the right direction? Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted 8 November , 2009 Share Posted 8 November , 2009 It was in a topic on WW1 Tv series. Richards was interviewed in the BBC series from 1964 under a different name. Regards, Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarsA Posted 8 November , 2009 Share Posted 8 November , 2009 Francis Philip Woodruff DCM, MM (1883 - 1961) was born in Monmouthshire, he was orphaned at the age of nine, and was then brought up by his aunt and uncle in the Blaina area of the South Wales Valleys in industrial Monmouthshire. The uncle, his mother's twin brother, and surnamed Richards, adopted Frank who then changed his surname. During the 1890s Frank Richards worked as coal miner and joined Royal Welch Fusiliers in 1901, serving in the British Empire forces in British India under the British Raj and Burma from 1902 to 1909, after which he transferred to the reserves. /Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
