The Rev. David Youngson has submitted the following:
Major Frederick Wilfred ROBINSON DSO MC
Machine Gun Corps (Infantry)
8th Battalion
The son of Matthias and Margaret Robinson of Llandieu, Hartburn, Stockton on Tees. He was awarded the Military Cross and subsequently the Distinguished Service Order (London Gazette 3rd June 1918). He was killed in action on the 28th March 1918 aged 28 and is Remembered on the Pozieres Memorial, Somme, France, Panel 90 to 93. His name appears in the Book of Remembrance in Stockton Parish Church.
Editor’s Note: There is a certain amount of confusion in records as a Captain Frederic Wilfred Robinson of the Canadian Forces is wrongly recorded in some records as being the recipient of the Distinguished Service Order he died in 1915.
Major Robinson is remembered in Stockton on S138.15, S138.16 and S138.18 page 48
