Additional Information
This man’s connection to the Bedfordshire and
Hertfordshire Regiment may be misleading. This combined regiment was not
officially formed until 1919, but arguably the process began in May 1918 with
the amalgamation of the remnants of Hertfordshire Regiment with those of the
6th Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment. When men died before 1919 it is likely
that they were officially still in one or the other of the individual
regiments. In the absence of other information we are recording them as related
to Hertfordshire, rather than miss such a relationship.
