Henry Fudge attested for the South Wales Borderers and served with the 7th Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front from 5 September 1915. He subsequently transferred to the Army Service Corps and was re-numbered T/406504.

James William Flogdell, was born at Camberwell, London, in 1886 and attested for the Royal Berkshire Regiment. He served with the 8th Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front from 7 August 1915, and is recorded in the War Office Weekly casualty report for 1 January 1918 as having been wounded. He survived the war and transferred to Class ‘Z’ Reserve on 15 February 1919. He died on 29 October 1971. Curiously, his Medal Index Card states ‘K[illed] in A[ction]’, which is patently wrong.

Thomas Jones was born in 1896 and attested for the South Wales Borderers. He served with the 1st Battalion during the Great War, and at some time served attached to the 15th Labour Group, Forests Unit. He was discharged on 19 May 1919, and subsequently claimed a war pension as he was suffering from defective vision and bronchitis, attributable to his military service.
