Dr Simon John Coulter Fraser
Rank: Captain
Regiment: Royal Army Medical Corps, attached to 11th Battalion, Gloucester Regiment
Address: Hastings
Other Info: The text reads: Image from a pencilgraph study by Shaw & Co of the Memorial Studio, Hastings. Dr Fraser is well known and greatly respected in Hastings. He was a prominent figure in the local Parliament before the War, and this latest act of his, to “leave all” and place his experience and ability unreservedly at the service of his country, is just in harmony with all that he has said publicly on the claims of loyalty.
