Oliver William BOWDLER, 13th Batt. Gloucester Regt (General)

A quick - but only partial - update on the WW1 pension records for my great grandfather, Oliver William Bowdler.

I've just had an email from the Western Front Association attached to which are two pension record index cards (not the full pension records). Unsurprisingly the WFA is completely snowed under with requests, so on their latest visit to their store they only got as far as locating the index cards. All being well, this should lead to them finding the full records on their next visit. Of course there is no guarantee, but it is progress nonetheless. It's definitely the correct person, as it includes the address in Devon where Oliver lived latterly, and also includes the name of his widow (Beatrice - whom he married after having divorced my great grandmother).

Hopefully I'll have more comprehensive information to report in about a month's time.

Janey
