• Notes

  Letter from Fred Berrett to his sister Amy, dated February 12th 1917. The letter is written in pencil on British Red Cross notepaper and is endorsed by his army censor. My Dear Sister I was very pleased to receive a letter from you. I lost your address so could not write to you. Now I am glad to hear you are getting on so well out there. I had a letter from our Maud. She tells me she has quite a large family now, 7 of them. Ted is in the R. Es [Royal Engineers] but has not gone out of England yet so she tells me. Now I must tell you I have been to Egypt for a month and I have been here 12 months in April. It will be 12 months next week since I was last at home. We have had two lots of snow here and it has been bitter cold. It is a wild sort of a country nothing but hills and mountains, and not the sort of country you would choose for a holiday. I often write to Bessie Baker, she is in Toronto. She sent me a pipe and tobacco a few weeks ago. Her address is 58 Moscow Avenue, Toronto, Ont. I daresay she would be pleased to hear from you. Do you hear from Uncle Ted? So you are thinking of getting married. Well, it is quite true you are young, but I think you are old enough to choose for yourself now. Married life is only what you like to make it. I have had nearly 10 years of it and I have no cause to regret it. I forget whether our Dolly was born before you went away or not. She is a dear little kiddie, just beginning to chatter when I came away. She will be 3 in April. Now in case you forget my address it is as follows, Sapper F Berrett 67155, R E 37th Army Troop Boy, Salonica Field Forces. I am not allowed to put it on the top of the letter. I don't know if Maud has a photo left of her and the two children or not. If so I will get her to send you one. Well, I don't think I have much more to say. I can't tell you where I am or what I am doing because I am not allowed to. I have been in the army over 2 years now. Well, I must wish you and your young man the best of luck and happiness. Hoping to hear again from you. I remain your affectionate Brother Fred In Loving Memory of Frederick Alfred Charles Berrett, who passed away on April 25th 1942, aged 57 years. Cremated at Mortlake Crematorium on the 30th of April 1942. Ever Thoughtful, Faithful, Kind and True, Selfishness he never knew. His thoughts were for others to the last, We shall miss him sadly, till our lives have passed. 66 Overstone Road, Hammersmith W6 S E Gregory, Funeral Director, 2 Devonshire Place, Chiswick W4 (Telephone: Chiswick 0758) Sources would suggest that Frederick rarely recorded 'Alfred' as one of his given names. It would seem that Frederick was keen to serve as there's a record on his Silver War Badge (SWB) Roll that he enlisted on 9 Sep 1914, initially into the 11th (Empire) Bn RF. This was renamed shortly afterwards as 17th (Service) Bn RF. His entry into F and F is right for the 17th proceeding overseas. His name is struck through as he was originally awarded the 14-15 Star on the RF Roll and an error also awarded him the same medal on the APC Roll. His SWB was awarded because he was released under KR 1912 para 392 (xvi) - unable to serve due to wounds or sickness. In Frederick's case, it was because of sickness.
