Biography
All that is known of Edwin comes from the 1918 Absent Voters’ List. He was Private 48097 in “B” Company, 1st Battalion, H.C.B. and his home address given as Holly Cottage, Hambridge Way. C.B. indicates Cyclist Battalion. Research shows that a number of men serving in the Hertfordshire Regiment transferred to the Huntingdonshire Cyclist Battalion. Perhaps this is the battalion in which Edwin served. Unfortunately, parish and census records currently provide no further information.
