Private Frederick Dye

 

The background of this North Irish Horseman is not known at present, other than that he was probably from England.

Frederick Dye enlisted or was called-up between 1915 and 1917. Initially posted to the 3rd County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters) (regimental number not known), in 1917 he was issued Corps of Hussars number 266357.

Later in 1917 or in early 1918 he was attached to the North Irish Horse, joining the 1st NIH Regiment in France (probably in 1918). This regiment served as corps cavalry to VII, XIX, then V Corps from its establishment in May 1916 until February-March 1918, when it was dismounted and converted to a cyclist unit, serving as corps cyclists to V Corps until the end of the war.
