Cutting from the Chester Chronicle on the BNA Thanks Dave None of the details appear to match up, but I took a look at the original newspaper article and see its in a section of local news for Bunbury. A check online for names remembered on the Bunbury War Memorial brings up that it has an S.H. Boden. A village website expands this - it believes he is 22310 Samuel Herbert Boden, who served as Armstrong and who died on the 12th April 1917 serving with the 20th Battalion, The Kings. https://www.cheshireroll.co.uk/soldier/?i=8908/22310-private-samuel herbert-boden Hope that helps, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
