Individual Note:
     In 1915 Frank Wallbank held the rank of Sergeant in the 1st/6th Battalion of the North Staffordshire Regiment. Service Number 350.

It was just before the battle of the Hohenzollern Redoubt commenced that Sergeant Frank Wallbank and Lance Corporal J. Cronise, both members of the 137th Brigade Mining Section of the North Staffordshire Regiment, with great courage succeeded in rescuing two tunnellers, overcome by fumes, from a mine shaft close to Hill 60. For this act both Sergeant Wallbank and Lance Corporal Cronise were awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal. Sergeant Frank Wallbank died on the 13th October 1915 in a hail of machine gun bullets with nearly 500 of his comrades, in a futile attempt to gain ground and take the Redoubt from the Germans.
