Lieutenant F.G. Crocker 1914-15 Star (LZ-65 F.G. Crocker, AB., RNVR.), British War Medal & Victory Medal (2nd Lieut. F.G. Crocker). Francis Gordon Crocker was born at Wimbledon on the 27th April 1889, the son of William Crocker, a manager with the British North Borneo Company and his wife Eleanor. He joined the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and served with the Royal Naval Division in Gallipoli until invalided home. Upon recovery, in November 1915, he was commissioned into the Army and served with the 7th Battalion of the Norfolk Regiment. His army service ended prematurely as he was unable to cope with life in the trenches; his CO stated that Crocker's "mind was a blank under fire". He was evacuated to England on the 24th May 1917. He received treatment at Craiglockhart hospital near Edinburgh, a hospital for officers suffering from the effects of shell-shock. The hospital magazine, "The Hydra" of the 7th July 1917 records his arrival at the same time as the famous war poet Wifred Owen. Also recorded is the fact that Crocker sang at two concerts on the 23rd and 30th June - he had been a singer before the war. Francis Crocker was discharged from Craiglockhart after about two months and was forced to resign his commission with effect from the 7th October 1917. A note was added to his file to ensure that he was not conscripted. Sold with photocopied birth certificate, RNVR record and extracts from army service papers and "The Hydra". |
