Frederick William Sanbrooke was the husband of Ada Elizabeth Sanbrooke, of 5, James Street, Uttoxeter[2].
He had enlisted in the North Staffordshire Regiment by 14th April 1915, when the Uttoxeter Advertiser reported the fact that he was serving.
On the 9th of January 1918 the Uttoxeter Advertiser[1c] reported that he was at home on leave from the Western Front.
On the 10th July 1918 the Uttoxeter Advertiser[1a] reported that he had been brought from France to a hospital in Leicester.
He died at the Cannock Chase Military Hospital on the 14th of August 1920, and his body was brought back to Uttoxeter for burial[1b].
The Uttoxeter Advertiser described his funeral as follows[1b]:
The funeral of Driver Frederick W. Sanbrooke, of the R.A.S.C., who died at Cannock Chase Military Hospital, as recorded in our last issue, took place at Uttoxeter Cemetery on Saturday, the Rev. W. Armstrong conducting the service.
Deceased was accorded full military honours, a party from Lichfield firing volleys over the grave and the ‘Last Post’ being sounded. The coffin, which was covered with the Union Jack , was born by the deceased’s old Territorial friends.
The mourners were the Widow; Mr. & Mrs. Sanbrooke; Mr. & Mrs. Wheat; Mr. & Mrs. Beckett (sister and brother-in-law); Mr. & Mrs. Mellor (sister and brother-in-law); Brothers Frank, Sam and Len; Mr. & Mrs. Smith (brother and sister-in-law); Misses D. Wheat, A. Strong and G. Beckett; and Messrs. W. Wheat, R. Wheat, and A. Jarvis.
