9742 Corporal Frederick George Cronan of the 2nd Battalion, Welsh Regiment died of wounds on the 25th October 1915. He was presumably wounded overseas, was shipped back to England on a hospital ship and died in England. Born in London, the son of William Henry Cronan, Frederick is buried in Nunhead (All Saints) Cemetery and was 24 years old when he died.
Soldiers Died in The Great War records that he was serving with the 2nd Battalion, whilst the Commonwealth War Graves Commission gives E Company, 1st Battalion. His service record no longer survives at the National Archives.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
