Great War 10th Battalion Royal West Kent Regiment First Day of the Battle of Passchendale Casualty Medal Group, group consists of British War and Victory medals awarded to “G-24506 PTE G F FROUD R W KENT R”, Bronze Memorial plaque “GEORGE FREDERICK FROUD”. Mounted into a period wooden glazed frame with regimental cap badge and photograph of George Frederick Froud. Private Froud was killed in action on the 31st July 1917 whilst serving with the 10th Battalion Royal West Kent Regiment. He is commemorated on the Ypres Menin Gate memorial. He was 23 at the age of his death. He was the son of Horace and Sally Froud of 200 Wheeler Street, Maidstone, Kent. The war diary for the 10th Battalion Royal West Kent states, 31st July 1917 (First day of the Battle of Passchendale), “(Second Army) X Corps attacked with the 41st Division, on either side of the Comines canal, captured Hollebeke village and dug in 500–1,000 yards (460–910 m) east of Battle Wood. Much of the X Corps artillery was used to help the Fifth Army by counter-battery fire on the German artillery concentration behind Zandvoorde. The 41st Division attack was hampered by frequent German artillery bombardments in the days before the attack and the officers laying out markings for the assembly tapes during the night of 30 July, exchanged fire with a German patrol. High explosive and gas shelling never stopped and one battalion lost 100 casualties in the last few days before the attack. At zero hour the attack began and the division advanced down the hill to the first German outposts. At one part of the battlefield German pillboxes had been built in lines from the front-line to the rear, from which machine-gunners kept up a steady fire. The strongpoints on the left were quickly suppressed but those on the right held out for longer and caused many casualties, before German infantry sallied from shelters, between the front and support lines on the right, before being repulsed by British small arms fire and that of a Vickers machine-gun fired by the Colonel in command of the battalion. Mopping-up the remaining pillboxes failed due to the number of casualties and a shortage of ammunition. It began to and at 4:00 a.m. many Germans were seen massing for a counter-attack. Reinforcements were called for and rapid fire opened on the German infantry but the attack succeeded in reaching the pillboxes still holding out on the right. The British artillery began firing as reinforcements arrived, the Germans were forced back and the last pillboxes captured. The front line had been advanced about 600–650 yards (550–590 m) on a front of 2,500 yards (2,300 m), from south of Hollebeke north to the area east of Klein Zillebeke”.
