The first 70 miles were in open rail trucks to Samarra, but beyond here the journey was by foot, some 500 miles across desert and mountains. Many men were reduced to bartering their possessions, especially their coveted boots, for food and water until they had nothing left. Starved, exhausted and sick, some still with wounds, the men of the 6th Division assisted each other as best they could on what can only be described as a ‘death march’ until unable to walk any further they fell by the wayside. Some were taken to inadequate makeshift hospitals others died were they lay. Of the 2,592 British rank and file taken prisoner at Kut, more than 1,700 died in captivity. Of the 9,300 Indian rank and file and followers, approximately 2,500 died. Frederick did not survive the journey dying in captivity on 24th <strong>August</strong> 1916. As the date of his death is recorded it is probable that he died in a hospital were such things were more likely to be recorded. Frederick has no known grave and therefore commemorated on the Basra Memorial, Iraq. 6
