Service Record

315533 Private Frederick Marriott C Co. Northumberland Fusiliers. Born 1896
Medal card Substantiates number and unit.
Note “SWB List/5442/1” shows he was awarded the Silver War Badge, usually presented to men who had been honourably discharged because of injury or sickness.
The badge was first issued in September 1916, along with an official certificate of entitlement. The sterling silver lapel badge was intended to be worn in civilian clothes. It had been the practice of some women to present white feathers to apparently able-bodied young men who were not wearing the King's uniform. The badge was to be worn on the right breast while in civilian dress, it was forbidden to wear on a military uniform.
(from Wikepdia)

He had not served overseas.
AVL/Roll of Honour Not listed on Roll, but is listed on AVL (Nottingham Road) even though he was also on 1918 electoral roll.
He may have been discharged (see above) after AVLs were compiled.
