Anges Mary Fransham was the daughter of Daniel Fransham, of 46, Newcombe Road., Polygon, Southampton.
She attended the school of Military Aeronautics which was based in Reading. Agnes died on 16th March 1918 aged 37. The circumstances of her death are not know. It is possible that she was a victim of the influenza epidemic which took so many lives in 1918. She is the only woman to be buried in the War Plot. Her name is commemorated on the screen wall.
A picture of Agnes Fansham was published in the Reading Standard on the 6th April and from the caption it is known that she was given an “imposing military funeral”. However, her name was incorrectly recorded as Frencham.
