There are images on Ancestry (26 October 1911) - British Army WW1 Services Records for Samson GRIFFITHS (2nd Gloucestershire Reg 12 Upton) which lists his wife as Sarah Ann L GRIFFITHS + 3 children. They were married at Upton Bishop, W Hereford, 2 July 1898, two witnesses George F WOOD and Celia PHILLIPS

Because of an injury to forefinger of right hand - he was marked down for home service only (his occupation was Stone Mason) - looks as if he was a cyclist
