For the past week in the PLP program we have been working on an investigation on a solider in World War 1. The solider that I researched is called Frederick William Hall. Hall was born on the date February 21, 1885. He was in the unit Canadian Infantry (Manitoba Regiment). Hall was in the 8th division and was 30 years old.
Hall was in the battle of Ypres on the date 24th April, 1915. As Hall was fighting he saw a wounded solider some 15 yards away from him. On the first attempt to get to the wounded solider fail he made it the second time. The other two solider that where helping the wounded man got injured from enemy fire. Hall in his bravery went to the wounded solider and tried to carry him to his friendly trench. Right when Hall made it to his trench he got shot in the back from enemy fire and died. Hall was rewarded the Victoria cross for his actions.
