Received disability discharge 11 August 1865

Before the Civil War, Frank was living near Freedom, Maine where he was a farmer. He enlisted for three years at Bangor, Maine as a private in Company H, 11th Maine Infantry on September 5, 1862 at 'age 18'. (Clearly, he lied about his age.) He was described as having blue eyes, brown hair, light complexion, and standing 5 feet 7 inches tall. Frank was discharged from the 11th Maine on November 23, 1863 at Morris Island, South Carolina 'In consequence of diarrhea accompanied with 'chills' or 'shakes' contracted while in the line of his duty on or about July 1st 1863.' In his examination, the regimental surgeon stated that he had 'chronic diarrhea, following intermittent fevers from which he has suffered during the last four months. He is quite feeble, lower extremities edematous. Disability total now. He is under age--unfit for the Invalid Corps. He reenlisted for three years at Augusta, Maine as a private in Company I, 7th Maine Infantry on June 22, 1864. Because the 7th Maine Infantry had lost so many men due to battles and disease, it was consolidated with men from the 5th Maine Infantry and 6th Maine Infantry whose enlistments had not yet expired. The new regiment was designated the 1st Maine Veteran Infantry Regiment. Frank was transferred to Company I on August 21, 1864. He mustered out with the regiment in Washington, D.C. on June 28, 1865.

Enlisted as a Private on 15 August 1862 at the age of 22. Promoted to Full Corporal (1862). Promoted to Full Sergeant (1863).
