steve fuller Posted 16 December , 2005 Share Posted 16 December , 2005 Just thought Id share this minor victory. The CWGC replied yeserday: "I am pleased to inform you that with the documentary evidence supplied, I have been able to add additional information to the record of Private Kendall. Please see below for details: Private KENDALL, HERBERT C. Unit: 7th Bn. Regiment: Bedfordshire Regiment Service No: 200570 Age: 34 Date of Death: 23/03/1918 Commemoration: POZIERES MEMORIAL France Panel 28 and 29. Additional Information: Son of George Thomas Clarke Kendall and Martha Annie Kendall, of Kettering; husband of Ellen Elizabeth Kendall, of Leighton Buzzard" Will post his obit seperately as its too large at the mo so need to crop it down etc! Question; is it worth letting the N&MP know as the info they have is even sketchier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrieduncan Posted 16 December , 2005 Share Posted 16 December , 2005 Hi Steve, Does this mean they will be able to put extra info on the online certificate? If so, well done! I'v come up with some additional info on a couple of the men i'v researched, is it worth letting the CWGC know? It's only basic stuff like age, next of kin etc. Cheers, Barrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fuller Posted 16 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 16 December , 2005 So now I know for certain that he was a Vickers gunner in the 5th Beds until wounded, operated on, returned to his unit but the op played him up so he was sent back home in 1917. When recovered he went to the 7th Beds in france Jan 1918 & was killed manning a lewis Gun on the Crozat Canal 2 months later. AND ... finally I have confirmation of who his younger brother served in as the lirary had a Roll of Honour book in its safe, which had them both in! Thanks to a guy from Titchmarsh (?) who told me whilst we were nattering (as you do!!) Yep, happier bunny now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fuller Posted 16 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 16 December , 2005 And yet another example of what 2 years at war can do to a man. From a strong, fit stonemason to a thin, ill soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
