Hello can any one help in finding any info on a relative of mine Sgt Frederick Charles Sanders, the only info i have is on his wedding cert in 1911, he was a musician in the 3rd Bn Royal Fusiliers. the other info i have is from a local birmingham newspaper dated 16th may 1915, in which it states he had served 17 years, and was wounded at hill 60 while saving a officer, still serving in the royal fusiliers, he lived in ason, birmingham.

any help would be great

thanks

Is this your man ? The only Frederick Charles Sanders I can find.

Medal Index Card from Ancestery;

21/R Fus PS/6882

11th Lancs Fus 2nd Lt

France 14/11/1915

1915 Star/BWM/Victory Medal

Commisioned 2nd Lt 4/8/1916.

On the 1911 Census he's a musician L/Cpl with the 3rd Bn Royal Fusiliers posted at Vacoas, Mauritius.

The 1911 census has him born in Salford, Lancs but the newspaper reports him as being an 'Astonian' ?
