Frederick William Pearce was born in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in 1879, and attested for the Royal Artillery at Crownhills Fort on 4 October 1893. Sent to depot as a Boy, he transferred to the Yorkshire Artillery as Trumpeter on 25 May 1896 and joined “G” Battery, Royal Horse Artillery, in South Africa during the Boer War campaign. Advanced Acting Bombardier 27 August 1900, Pearce completed a short course in gunnery on 13 March 1901 and was promoted Sergeant in 1902. His left foot having been crushed by a horse at Newbridge, Ireland, on 4 September 1901, he was sent to India for a little over 4 years from 1905-10, and fought in France with 3rd Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery from 15 August 1914 (also entitled to a 1914 Star).
Appointed to a commission in the Royal Field Artillery 5 March 1916, Pearce witnessed extensive service on the Western Front and Italy; his officer service record further states that he suffered from gastritis. He later joined the Army of the Rhine at Gemund and is recorded in 1919 as having been court martialed and demoted. Transferred to Irish Command, attached 2nd Battalion, East Lancashire Regiment, his commission was promptly terminated a short while later following financial problems which were brought to light by the Manager of the Tralee branch of the Provincial Bank of Ireland.
Sold with copied service record and extensive copied research.
