19th Bn. Australian Infantry, A.I.F. Killed in Action-No Known Grave-Official Point of Commemoration is the VILLERS-BRETONNEUX MEMORIAL
He was 19 and the son of Frederick and Annie Weaver, of 44, Canvas St., Premier Diamond Mine, Vulleman Transvaal, South Africa.
Born at Middlesbrough-on-Tees, Yorks., England.
Births Jun 1897 Weaver Frederick Steene Middlesbro' 9d 554.
There is some doubt about the spelling of his middle name; his birth registration shows it as Steene; CWGC record it as Steeme and it seems like Steeme on his attestation papers and throughout his service records displayed on NAA.
He is remembered on the Middlesbrough Cenotaph, a war memorial situated in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England.
