Page from the KLR bookThis is a page from the book about the Kings Liverpool Regiment. This page details the events of July 1916 and I have highlighted the listing of casualties including the missing. It is possible that Frank was one of the missing mentioned here as his Red Cross POW data was recorded a short while after these events.Contributed by:
