Lance-Sgt Reginald Charles Goodridge Weeks, 23070, 2nd Battalion Beds Regiment, died of wounds in a battlefield casualty clearing station in France on August 7th, 1918. He was aged 21 and single.
Parents Goodridge Charles and Rose Harriet Weeks at Upper Sundon were informed in a telegram on August 9th that their son was dangerously wounded, followed quickly by a second with the news that he had died. A chaplain had buried Reginald.
Born in Salisbury, Wilts, in 1897, Reginald Weeks joined up in November 1915 and was trained at Ampthill. He was drafted to France the following May, and was wounded on September 15th, 1916, and as a result was in England until February 1917, when he was again drafted to France.
Before joining up, Reginald worked for dairyman Mr R. Eames, Westbourne Dairy, Westbourne Road, Luton.
Reginald is commemorated on the Sundon Village War Memorial, on which his surname is spelt Weekes.
