This story is about my uncle Fred Wilkins and was handed down from his brother Edward Wilkins. Fred was born in the village of Charlton near Wantage and was educated at the village school. His father was a farm worker and Fred left school at around the age of twelve. He signed up as soon as he could, partly to get away from farm work, joining the Royal Berkshires as a private, number 9618. Fred died in 1914 in India, aged 22, and was buried near Mumbai (Bombay). The documents show that he died on either the 19th or 20th September 1914 and was originally interred at Wassee cemetery and subsequently at Kirkee. || Commemorative scroll recording death Print out of War Graves Commission casualty details with photograph of grave at Wassee Print out of War Graves Commission information on Kirkee (Khadki) Memorial
