Looking for WW1 Ledbury casualties
« on: Wednesday 09 May 07 23:14 BST (UK) »
Hi

Im looking for information/photographs  on 3 WW1 casualties that came from Ledbury  Herefordshire. All i have found is their names on  the Ledbury Memorial and 20-30 possibles on the CWGC. If there is any family members on this site of these men I would love to here from you. All information supplied is being collected and used to write a book on all the HODGES that fell in the Great War.

Pte Henry Hodges
Pte George W Hodges
Pte Herbert Hodges

Regards
Mike Hodges

You need to look in the Soldiers Died database available on www.findmypast.co.uk. I took a quick look and found three Hodges born in Ledbury. It would only cost you a few credits.

No connection to me but a good possibility for George W HODGES perhaps?

have you thought about emailing the local paper to see if descendants still live in the town?
