Frank Bicknell was a painter by trade and enlisted shortly after the start of the war. He was likely killed fighting near the town of Bethune in Northern France, close to the Belgium border. The battalion had been involved with heavy fighting on June 15 and 16, and was pulling back just after midnight on the 17th.
