Note

Note: Dudley Farr Cox, born at Malvern Link was for some years in the employ of Mr T W Holden, architect and when he enlisted held an appointment at the Land Valuation Office. He was reported missing on 1st July (probably on the 1st Day of the Battle of the Somme), but contacted his parents at Spring Cottage, Malvern Link stating he was wounded and a prisoner of war in Germany. The postcard was dated 8th July, and was received 29th August, but three days after sending this communication he was dead.

In November 1917 he was officially reported to have died of wounds in German hands. He was buried in a cemetery in Caudry, near Cambrai. This village, captured in August 1914 and held by German forces until October 1918 was used as a centre for medical units - so despite being a prisoner he was never taken as far as Germany as the Malvern News, reported.^[4]
