Listed as Private F. Sandham in the Warrant Officers Lodge No. 2346 for the 1921 Roll of Honour. The immediate question, is in the masonic standards and criteria of the time why a Private would be able to join a "Warrant Officers Lodge." On the 1940 roll, he is listed as F.W. Sandham.
In the register of the Lodge, Frederick is listed as Frederick George Stephen Sandham, a 36 year old Stationer from Barking Road, London. Some war service is recorded, followed by "Died 28 Nov. 1918," a post Armistice casualty.
