Before the war he worked for the Midland Railway at Luton[2,3a].

His wife had been living in Uttoxeter for about 18 months when she received official notification that he was being classed as killed in action [2,3a].and later remarried to become Mrs. Hodgkinson[CWGC, 2].

Frederick has no known grave and his name is recorded on a panel in the Tyne Cot Memorial. The Memorial Panels run along the walls which surround the back of Tyne Cot Cemetery.
The Tyne Cot Cemetery and the other cemeteries in the Ypres area contain many graves of unidentified soldiers. Thomas may be one of them, or he may still lie where he fell, somewhere beneath the surrounding fields
