220006 L/Cpl. Frank Woodley British Army 2nd Btn. Rifle Brigade from:Somerset (d.9th May 1915) Frank Woodley was my great uncle and according to family stories, he lied about his age to enlist. He served with the 2nd Battalion, Rifle Brigade. He died on 9th May 1915 by which time he would have been just 17. He is commemorated on the Ploegsteert Memorial in Belgium and this seems to suggest he did not die in any of the major battles but in more everyday trench warfare. I would very much like to find out more about him particularly as we know that the 2nd Battalion was indeed involved in several significant battles. I would also like to find out if he was entitled to any medals as the are nine in the family but again, it has been suggested that he might have been.
