Notes
The memorial states he attended the school in 1896-1905 and the school website (see References) adds: 'Second Lieutenant Frederick Ashcroft, of the 18th Battalion The King’s (Liverpool Regiment) was the fourth son of the family, born in 1886 and killed in action at Arras on April 9th 1917. Frederick was at School from 1896 to 1905 where he was a School Prefect, Captain of the Cricket XI and member of the Rugby XV. He was in the cricket team for four years and in his last year made more runs than had ever been made by any boy in one year at the School, as well as taking over 100 wickets. Following School Frederick went to Emmanuel College to study Classics, and then became a schoolmaster at Hillside in Godalming, and then at Rhos-on-Sea Preparatory School. Described as a reserved and affectionate man, he was respected for his high ideals and straight character. His loss was felt as a personal one by many, especially those who had been taught by him.'
