Strochnetter, Frederick

Frederick Strochnetter had once been classed as medically unfit for service. He was with the 12^th Battalion when, on 23^rd September 1918 he died of the effects of shrapnel wounds to the legs, left arm, face and lower abdomen, wounds he had received on the 18^th September in the fighting beyond Peronne. He had been recuperating from the effects of a mustard gas attack on 23^rd August and had only been back with his unit for two days when caught by the explosion that would end his life. It was over a year before his father, his next of kin was formally advised in a letter dated 9^th October 1919 by Base Records as to his son’s fate.

With reference to the report of the regrettable loss of your son, the late No 7323 Pte F Strochnetter, 12^th Battalion, I am now in receipt of advice which shows that he was wounded in action (2^nd occasion) on 18.9.1918, admitted to the 1^st Australian Field Ambulance, France, and transferred to the 20^th Casualty Clearing Station where he died the same day as a result of his wounds (shell wounds leg, left arm and face). He was buried in Doigt Communal Cemetery Extension, one and a half miles East of Peronne France.
