Cow Bridge [Z55/5/600]
Tuesday 4th April 1916: We understand that Trooper Percy
James Griffiths, 21, of 3rd/1st Bedfordshire Yeomanry has been badly injured as
the result of an accident with a train. He was found shortly after nine o’clock
last night by Frank Gosling who was cycling from Wootton Pillinge to Bedford.
He was lying at the bottom of the railway embankment with both his legs severed
as if by a train. The unfortunate man has been removed to Bedford Hospital.
