Further Information About MILES Frank

Frank Miles was baptised on 9th September 1891 at St Mary’s Church, Abberley when he was almost two years old. He was baptised with his younger brother Harold Sydney, the sons of Henry and Susan (nee Brazier) Miles. The couple had ten children. Henry worked as a farm labourer eventually rising to the position of farm bailiff.

Frank attended the village school and is mentioned in the log book twice, on 12th December 1902 when he was punished for ill treating a younger boy and again in September 1906 when he was absent with whooping cough. Prior to his conscription into the Worcestershire Regiment he lived and worked as a chauffeur in Shelsley.
