Additional Information
Unfortunately, Edward’s Service Record appears to be one that did not survive the World War Two bombing. *1 Records found have recorded his birthplace as Watford. This may be the case, however Watford was the main postal location given for nearby villages and hamlets, so it may be that this information is misleading. If more accurate information found this will be updated.
