Band. Frank Dodd
British Army 1st Battalion Cheshire Regiment
from:Hoole, Chester
(d.3rd September 1916)
Frank Dodd was born in Tranmere, Cheshire and died during the Battle of Guillemont, one of the campaigns of the Somme. Records are sketchy and a bit confusing. Some records have him aged 23 and others 26. Also there is some confusion over the actual date of his death. Different records show the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of September 1916. His name appears on the Thiepval memorial.
He joined the Cheshire Territorials in November 1912 and was called up at the outbreak of war in August 1914. He served with the Expeditionary Force in France and Flanders from 25th of July 1916, as a stretcher bearer attached to the 1st Battalion.
An account of his death, stating the 3rd of September, was recounted by one of his comrades. "A week today the drummers were called out to carry water up to the trenches to the boys who had driven the Huns back during the day, and were badly in need of a drink. We arrived in the line at eight o'clock in the evening, and were sitting grouped together on the slopes of a valley when a shell burst close by, and one of the fragments caught your son, which, I am sorry to say, was the cause of his death."

Pte Benjamin Dodds
British Army 15th Battalion Durham Light Infantry
from:Durham
(d.30th Dec 1915)
Benjamin Dodds was my great uncle, the oldest brother of my grandfather Jeremiah. He served in world was one with the 15th battalion of the Durham light infantry. Prior to enlisting he was a miner. He was married to Rose and they had two children as far as I know. He was killed in action whilst serving in the Western European theatre and is buried in Houplines communal cemetery extension in France. I believe that the 15th Battalion were part of the 21st battalion and that they landed in Bologne in September 1915. He would have been around the age of thirty at the time, having been born in 1885. His rank was that of a private and his service number was 15675. His grave memorial reference number in the cemetery at Houplines is 11B38. I believe that his widow married his brother John (Jack) after he died, and that they were very happily married. Benjamin died within the first year of the war and I am not sure which campaigns he would have been involved in. I hope to find out a lot more about him and would dearly like to visit his grave in France to pay my respects to a man who's life had already clearly been hard prior to enlisting and beyond imagination following enlistment.

LSBA. John McLeod Dodds
Royal Navy HMS Nelson
from:Glenmarlin Cottage, Fauldhouse, West Lothian
My father John Dodds never spoke much about his war service. There is one story, verified in the book "Battleship Nelson" about the crew getting shore leave from Gibraltar. My father, like many of the crew bought bananas to take home. Since he bought ripe bananas by the time he got home they had gone black. Only one was still edible. When he peeled it he found it contained 2 small bananas so my brother and sister were able to get one each. The banana was such a novelty that my brother nailed the banana skin to the wall of the garden shed (It was actually a wash house) and all his school pals came round to look at it.

L/Cpl. John Humphrey Dodgson
British Army 8th Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers
from:16 River Street, St Peter's, Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne
My great grandad, John Dodgson, was born on 20th February 1885 at St Peter's, Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne. He joined the 8th Battalion of the Northumberland Fusiliers on 18th of August 1914 as Private 4501, and by the end of his service on 24th January 1919 he had been promoted to Lance Corporal.
He saw action in Gallipoli with his regiment who took part in the invasion of Suvla Bay on 6th of August 1915. I assume he was injured at some point during the Gallipoli campaign as he was dicharged from the 8th Battalion and redeployed to the 21st Battalion (2nd Tyneside Scottish) at the Somme in France, some time between July 1916 and December 1917. Unfortunately, we don't know any more details of his service with the 21st Battalion who he served with until he was demobbed. He returned to his home on River Street, St Peter's, Byker, Newcastle, working as stone quarry labourer and died of chronic bronchitis on 24th December 1930 at the age of 45.
