He was commissioned into the 2nd Bn.Coldstream Guards, and was a son of Robert and Chinty Lockwood, of Havering Court, Romford, Essex, and is buried in Soupir Communal Cemetery, Aisne, France. He was probably hilled during the Battle of the Aisne in the opening encounters of the War.

(d.5th Nov 1914)
Thomas Lodge was my Grandfather. He was born in London in 1885, I know little apart from that he was a Warehouseman and that he married in July 1910 and had two children, Jesse and my Mum Irene who was born in 1913.
He went into the army in 1903 for three years then re enlisted in 1909, serving with the 1st Battalion, Rifle Brigade. He went to France in August 1914 and ended up fighting just outside Armentieres where he was killed on 5th November 1914. He is buried at Le Touquet Railway Crossing Cemetery, Belgium.
No photo of Thomas exists and the only item I have of his is the 'Death Penny' I have a copy of his army record which records the Medals that he would have been awarded which includes the 1914 star with clasp for those under fire August to 22nd November. We have been to his grave a few times and are going on 5th November 2014 to place some poppies on his grave. He was a very brave man along with all who fought in that War.
A/CQMS. Bertie Loe

Army Register of Soldiers Effects Record No. 390628. Registry No.E289324T Loe, Bertram. 11th (S) Btn. KRRC ACS Major. No. R/5297 Date and Place of Death 26.8.16. In Action. Account & Date Credits Winchester 1.17. 4.11s.7d Date of Authority 19.2.17. To whom authorized Sole Legatee Mrs Amelia Breedan War Gratuity 16.0s.0d. 20.9.19 Soul Legatee Mrs Amelia Breedan
Medal Rolls for KRRC records that he entered Theatre of war on 21st July 1915
Bertram was Born 16th February 1888. Registered at Portsea 1st Qtr. Registered as ˜Bertie. There is some suggestion that he was apparently the illegitimate child of Ann Hannam Cavander. There were seemingly 4 half brothers and 2 half sisters. The 1891 Census shows him living at 3, Belmont St. Portsea
On the 1911 Census, he is recorded at Winchester Barracks, Kings Royal Rifle Corps R/5297 L/Cpl Bertie Low, Single Age 23 b. Portsea. So, clearly a ˜Regular and as a L/Cpl in 1911 would have been in the Army for a few years by then. If this was about 1906 and he entered on a 7 Year engagement he would have transferred to the Reserve in 1913 and been recalled at outbreak of war. Looks as if he was then drafted to 11th Battalion which was a Service battalion formed of new entrants and he was most likely one of the ex Regulars drafted to provide some sort of experience before being sent to France. No exact trace of an Amelia Breedan other than in the 1911 Census where an Amelia Breedan, a 64 year old widow living on private means at 5, Quay St. Worcester. In the 1891 Census there is a John Loe (30) and his wife Louisa (26) living at 30, Gloucester St. Portsea. Possibly he was Bertie's father?
