Dorsetshire regiment

[traceydiment]

Hi
I am looking for any information on an ancestor, Henry John Fickus (a Corporal in the Dorsetshire Regiment).  I know he served in WW1 and his brother Frederick William Fickus was killed in action.

Can you help with info??

There's also info on a Bertie H R Fickus - is he one of your family?


Frederick's Service Record is on ancestry.co.uk (damaged - but at least there!).

Bertie Fickus, I believe is another brother.  Will check my census records.
