Notes for Ralph Thomas BODDINGTON He lived in the small village of Berkswell and is listed on the war memorial there,
as well as on the Roll of Honour mounted at the North Warwickshire Golf
Club. Burial location: Gaza War Cemetery, grave XIV.D.2. John Elliott, great
great nephew, in his official capacity with the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office
in Jerusalem, attended a Service of Remembrance and Dedication at Gaza War Cemetery
on Wednesday 8th November 2017. [269]
Sam Boddington is pictured with the remembrance cross that he proudly placed in
front of Berkswell war memorial on the 100th anniversary of RTB's death. Ralph was
Sam's great great great uncle. By extraordinary coincidence, Sam attended the junior
school next door to the war memorial. [316],[396]
Ralph's comments appear in his sister's domestic Visitor Book . [269]
An excellent note on Ralph's life can be found on the
Solihull
