Wednesday 10th May 1916: The patriotism and pluck of Eli
Loveridge of Biggleswade would, we think, take some beating. Formerly he
belonged to the 2nd Bedfords and came from Africa in the Autumn of 1914
proceeding later to Belgium. He fought at Ypres etc. and eventually was badly
wounded in the ankle. After a lengthy spell in hospital he was discharged from
the Army as medically unfit and was granted a pension. During recent months the
injured foot has got much better and at the end of April Loveridge surrendered
his claim to pension and joined the 3rd Bedfords. He is now at Landguard
