Is anyone able to help me?
I've recently started researching my family tree and have discovered a Frank Edward Sheldon.
Frank was born November 7th 1912 in Kidderminster.
I believe he was a member of this regiment.
Apparently....... Frank was on a WW1 battle field, Givenchy-les-la- Bassee, in WW2 when the Earl of Coventry was injured and died in Franks arms. Frank was then captured and held prisoner of war in Germany for 4 years.
Frank was presented to the Queen at a garden party at Buckingham Palace but he was unable to see her as he was blind.
Frank was buried with full military honours in 2003.
This information has been given to me in bits via other family members so I can't be 100% sure of any of it.
I would really appreciate it if anyone can help me regarding Frank and this ' story ' !
Kind reagrds,
Naomi.
