| Frederick Vickery appears to have been known by his second name, Richard. He was born in 1898, the youngest of five children, all born in Froyle, to Rhoda (née Bushell) and David Vickery. We believe the family lived in Baldwins Cottages, Husseys Lane, in Lower Froyle. At least, we know they were living there in 1891, where David Vickery was a farm labourer. In 1911 he was still working on the farm, so one could assume the family is still living in the same house. At the time of the 1911 Census Richard was a scholar attending Froyle School. He enlisted in Winchester and served with the 11th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment, as 28815 Private Frederick Vickery. He was killed in action in Belgium on 9th October 1917, aged 19. It is most probable he lost his life at the Battle of Poelcapelle, where the weather and ground conditions put such severe strain on all the infantry involved that casualties were high and many wounded were stranded on the battlefield. He was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. Private Frederick Richard Vickery is commemorated on the Tyne Cot Memorial, Belgium, Panel 23 to 28 and 163A. |
