Pte. William Edward Boddy
7th Btn Bedfordshire Regiment
from:Durham
(d.17th Aug 1917)
I'm afraid my research into William Boddy's service hasn't brought me very much information. Apparently the WW2 bombs destroyed a lot of Military Service records and I suspect that my Great Grandfather's records were included.
I do have a postcard with the Bedfordshire Regiment coat of arms stitched into the front. My GGrandfather had sent it to my Nana when she was very little.
It's my understanding that if he was killed in August of 1917 it would likely have been the attack made by the 7th Bedfords at Ypres.
