Frank was born in Wolverhampton in 1894, the son of Alfred and Kate or Kezia Fellows. In the 1901 census, they were living at 56 Victoria Street, Wolverhampton, along with Frank’s siblings Alfred, Arthur and Bert. Frank’s mother died in 1907, and Alfred remarried. By 1911 they were living in Aston, where Frank was working as an apprentice tailor.

Frank enlisted in the 1st Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment (service number 39918). Unfortunately, his arm was wounded, and he eventually died of those wounds on 30 December 1918, just over a month after the war ended. Frank is buried in Birmingham (Yardley) Cemetery.
