Fred or "Tub" as he was more familiarly called was one of the boat of Radford's many fine boys who answered the call of their country. Clean-cut, upstanding, Very much of a gentleman, who never spoke to give hurt, he was the beau-ideal; soldier; happy, frank, kindly, a manly, spendid fellow, beloved by all. His family have more than the sympathy of the community for all share in the sorrow that is theirs They are two other sons in the service. Mack and Robert, and "Tub" was the youngest of these three.

His body was re­covered with difficulty by the boys and was buried in the Ameri­can cemetery. The letters will be read at the memorial services in the Colonial Theatre, announced elsewhere.
