221181 Thomas Frederick Woodyatt British Army 5th Battalion South Wales Borderers from:Bromyard (d.18th April 1918) My great uncle died aged 18 - records show 18th April 1918 Thomas Frederick Woodyatt. He was in the 5th Battalion of the South Wales Borderers. His younger brother, my Uncle Bill, used to tell me about his big brother and he remembers the great sadness of his brother's death in the family. In fact he said his father joined up (even though he was too old) because he didn't feel right that his son had gone to war. So, his father survived the war and fought at Gallipoli but was heartbroken that his son never returned. My cousin has an heirloom of Uncle Bill's father that he kept from his time at Gallipoli-a very bent bullet that post war, he had attached to his watch chain. The bullet was lodged in his metal hat during an attack. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
