Frederick LUKE, VC, (1895-1983) who was awarded the VC in the first year of the Great War (1914-1918)  for an act of extreme bravery at Le Cateau, France, is buried at Linn Cemetery, Glasgow,

Not only was he one of the youngest recipients of the VC, at the time of his death (at 88) he was one of the oldest survivors!

Am wondering if, by chance, there are any living relatives of Frederick, if so, I have some information for her/him/they that I would be pleased to pass across.

Hi, very new to Rootschat.Picking up on Fred Luke VC, My wife is his niece, her mother was his youngest sister. Coming from a large family of 13 children; she was only 3 when Fred won his medal.
I met him on two occasions when he came down to the palace for a VC event.There are possibly 10 nieces and nephews that I now and meet at family occasions all living on the south coast.This year being 100 years at Romsey in Hampshire they are laying commemorative slabs to mark the event, one for Fred and one other, we all hope to be there.  Talk again soon  sagaman
