Hello Forum pals, hope this finds you all well. On another thread

on this great forum, I'm finding out about a Officer of the above

Regiment, Capt William Reginald Frend. Sadly he was KIA on the

21 09 1914, I was wondering if anything specific was written in

the Regimental diary for that day. Any help will be much appreciated.

Many thanks, take care.

I have the story of William Barringer of 2nd Sherwoods who was killed the day before on my website (now defunct). The link is here and includes the full 'back-story' up to that date.

ANDREW HESKETH. Thank you Andrew for all your help here with this matter.

The Derbyshire lads 'back story' is very informative, a real story of hardship

and bitter fighting. Take care mate and thanks once again,

Bob

You're welcome. I forgot to add that the account, whilst focused on the events of 20 September does go beyond that. As you will have read, the 2nd Sherwoods were on the receiving end of lengthy German artillery bombardments on the 21st and Capt. Frend was most probably a victim of that.

Also I can add that Frend was an adjutant.

Thanks again Andrew, I now know through the good people of this

forum quite a lot about Capt. Frend, including a photo of the Gentleman.

It was just what happened on that specific date, a fascinating read and many

thanks once again,

Bob
