Private Frank Harold Sharp

Private Frank Harold Sharp (1839, 46th Battalion) was born in Hawthorn, Victoria, around July of 1899. He was working as a labourer when he enlisted in February 1915, aged 15 years 7 months. Frank was killed in action in the front line trenches near Gueudecourt on 12 February 1917. He was buried by the Chaplain at Chalk Cliff. However his gravesite could not be located after the war, so Frank is commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial, Villers-Bretonneux, France. Frank's brother, Lance Corporal Colin Campbell Sharp (2494, 14th Battalion) was killed in action in August 1916 and is also commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial. Two other brothers also served in the AIF, Private John Buchanan Sharp (604, 9th Australian Movile Veterinary Section) MID and Private Walter John Sharp (1810, 5th Battalion).
