Frederick William Rowley (born 24 June 1898, died 17 September 1917) was my granddad's uncle. We don't kow very much about him but he apparently was a very bright young man. Sadly he never got to meet his nephew as it was the shock of hearing of her brother's death that sent my great grandma into premature labour three months earlier than expected, in those days this was very dangerous but my granddad survived and lived well into his 90's. He first told me about F W Rowley whilst i was doing a school project many years ago on the war and since hearing about him i've not been able to stop thinking about him. I've searched constantly for more information and just before my granddad died a couple of years ago i was actualy able to show him photos of his uncle's grave in Zuydcoote, France. One day i plan on visiting it in person.
