Frederick Riley - Not on the WW1 Memorial but is mentioned on a stained glass window in the church

Frederick’s maternal Grandparents were James & Agnes Wearing, they lived in Tunstall, James Wearing was an Auctioneer / Estate Agent.

From the window in the church we can see Frederick used to be a choirboy at All Saints church.

There are no surviving service records for Frederick; from his medal index card we know he enlisted some time in 1915/16 and that he was awarded the Victory Medal and the British War Medal. Frederick was killed on the 1^st July 1916, 1^st day of the Battle of the Somme; he is buried in Gommecourt British Cemetery No2, Hebuterne.

 

The stained glass window was commissioned by Florence Jane Skardon (spinster) in 1940 she lived with Fredericks grandparents James & Agnes Wearing, Florence died in 1939.
