Pte Frederick Bingham, a native of Luton serving with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, was killed in action on April 24th, 1915.
Pte Bingham, 24291, 13th Battalion (Quebec Regiment) Canadian Infantry, was in Canada with his brother Arthur when war broke out. Frederick had been in Canada for 13 years and Arthur for seven. They were natives of Luton but were living in Studham before leaving England.
In May 1915 it was feared from casualty lists that Arthur had also been killed in action, but a subsequent letter from him proved he was still fighting.
Although both in Canada, the brothers had not seen each other for many years until they met in England, having come over with the Canadian contingent in October 1914. They had an older brother serving in the trenches with the Regular Army and a youngest brother, Horace, who was a stoker on HMS Vanguard.
