Frederick Trevena was born on the 22nd of August 1892 in London, to Richard Charles Trevena and Eliza Barnicoat Robins. In 1901 the family were living at 7 Chichester Street, St George Hanover Square, London. His father was working as a commercial clerk. They also had a daughter Gertrude b1896.
Frederick was educated at the Bowes Road School, London.
In 1911 the family lived at 33 Lakeside Road, Palmers Green, London. Frederic was now also working as a clerk for the Southgate Urban District Council. The census reveals his parents had two children but had also lost two children.
As Britain declared war on Germany in 1914 many brave men signed up to fight for their country. Frederic joined the Seaforth Highlanders on the 14th of September 1914 : went to Frances on the 1st of May 1915, and was killed on the 21st of that month, by shell fire, while the battalion was resting in an orchard about three miles from the firing line, some miles N.E of Bethune. He was buried in the orchard. The Chaplain, Rev D. Macfarlane wrote "We were encamped and he and the others were simply resting in their bivouc when the shells came raining across on us. We had been shelled before farther up the line but had left it to come here for safety as this place hadn't been shelled before. But this time the shells had a message and it was young Frederic they came to. He could have suffered nothing, as death was instantaneous. The others were spared, though they got shock. We feel keenly parting so suddenly from a good comrade and brave man"
His sister Gertrude was a elementary school teacher and lived with her parents until they passed away. She passed away in 1983, aged 86, in Hastings, Sussex. As neither Frederic or Gertrude had any children there are no direct descendants to contact but I'm hoping a distant relation may see this post.
