  • Notes 
    • Harry Cyril Furmidge enlisted in the British Army at Fletton (Peterborough), in October 1909 and joined the 5th Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment in which he served until 1913, achieving the rank of Sergeant in 1912. In April 1914 he transferred to the Huntingdonshire Cyclist Battalion, a territorial battalion formed in February 1914. In July 1918 he transferred to the 16th Battalion Suffolk Regiment (subsequently absorbed into the 12th Battalion) and was part of the British Expeditionary Force in France and Belgium. As part of the 12th Suffolks he would have played both a supportive and front line role and possibly fought in the Fifth Battle of Ypres. He returned to England in March 1919 where he served as a Duty Clerk in the Essex Regiment. He was disembodied at the end of May 1919 suffering with weak eyesight and heart disease. He was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. (Sources: War Office: Soldiers’ Documents from Pension Claims, Class: WO 364, Piece: 1291, The National Archives.
