Pre War
Arthur George Gentle born 17 July 1887 in Caldecote, son of James and Emily Gentle.
In 1901 he was still recorded as living in Caldecote, but by 1911 was already serving in 2nd Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment at time and listed as serving in Bermuda or Jamaica.
Wartime Service
He was recorded as dying of wounds on 16 July 1916, so by referring to battalion diaries he was probably wounded at Trones Wood on 11 July or possibly at Maricourt on 1 July.
