Bdr. Bernard Godber
British Army 1st Notts Royal Horse Artillery
from:Notts
My Grandfather was Bombardier Bernard Godber of the 1st Notts Royal Horse Artillery which was drawn up and commanded by local officer Colonel Joe Laycock. My great uncle Albert was in the same unit and, as far as I know, they both served right through the First World War largely fighting the Turks in Palestine.
He enlisted on 24 September 1914 for four years. Bernard was born in 1889 to Thomas and Elizabeth Godber. In the 1911 census he is at home at 38 Noel Street, Nottingham with his family, aged 21 and a lace warehouseman. Albert is also there aged 25 years and a reports clerk.
