Bernard Victor Dudley

[davierj]

Bernard Victor Dudley was born in Market Deeping, Lincs in 1893, the son of Arthur Thomas and Almena Dudley.   In 1911 he was working as a wheelwright in Quadring, Lincs.   In 1915 he was in military service with the Bedfordshire Regimant.   He apparently survived the war as no record of his death is shown on CWGC site.
Any information on this soldier much appreciated.

His military record is available on Ancestry.
Is it just his military service you are searching?
He was demobbed in 1919 due to ‘compassionate grounds’.
There are other details re his service in the record.

Have you searched the 1921 census/index for him?

He looks to have died in 1977 and there is a probate record.
