Pte Frederick William Glide

 

by Sheila Byard

 

Frederick Glide was taken on strength Gallipoli Peninsula 25/10/1915, then served 3 month in France from 31/7/1916.   He took part in a raid on the enemy’s trenches night of 29/30 June 1916 Ref 302.1.2 and was received a gun shot wound to the right elbow.  

 

He held temporary ranks of Corporal, Lance Corporal, and Sergeant.

 

On 27/8/1916 his mother L. Glide ( Mrs F. Glide) of ‘Rosedale’, 57 Margaret St, Moonee Ponds, wrote to Senator Pearce requesting information since they had heard nothing from the Army despite having received a cable from their son saying he had been injured and sent to hospital in England.

 

On 17 October 1916 there was a changed allotment to mother from 3/- to 2/6.

 

After being discharge from hospital  after his 1916 injury, he was sent to Horseferry Road for duty.  A medical report on 17th December 1918 records that he reports having had a constant cough, has lost weight and that he feels nervous.   Comment on Question 13,  'Present condition and progress':  "anaemic, thin, looks as if he has lost weight, tremor of fingers, heart".

 

He returned to Australia on the Morvarda. In  February 1919 it was recommended he should be discharged as  permanently unfit;  and he was so discharged on 14/4/1919

 

In 1969 after his death, his son F. W. Glide Junior of Coburg wrote to the Department of the Army asking of any outstanding medals. Central Army Record supplied the three medals to the trustees of the estate National Trustees of Melbourne.
