TIMORE Frederick
Private 14874 Northamptonshire Regiment
Private 4780 Machine Gun Corps (Infantry)
Frederick was born at end of 1895 in Kings Cliffe to Enoch and
Sibberina Smith. He was the younger brother of Albert Lattimore.
In 1914 he was working as a farm labourer.
He enlisted in Peterborough in September 1914, joining the
Northamptonshire Regiment.
At some time he transferred to the machine gun corps and went
missing on 3rd May 1917.
There were two battles taking place, close to each other, on that
date:- The Battle of Bullecourt and The Battle of the Scarpe.
There were significant losses by the British in both battles on
that day.
He is remembered on the Arras Memorial, Bay 10.
The Stamford & Rutland News of 9th June 1915, when reporting
the death of his brother, says:-
“....Still another son, Frederick, is in the Army, and is expected home
shortly on furlough. It is hoped the sight of him may cheer the mother
in her sad bereavement.”
The same paper on 13th March 1918 reported:-
“Kings Cliffe. Sad news – No news having been received of Private
Frederick Lattimore since May 3rd of last year, the authorities at the
Record Office have written that they are constrained to conclude he
is dead. He was the son of Mr John Lattimore and belonged to the
Machine Gun Corps.”
His mother, Sibberina died in 1916, soon after the death of her
other son, Albert.
