This database was compiled by Martin Edwards. It is currently being updated regularly. For further details of the Bedfordshire Regiment see the Regiments section.

Initially the entries were taken from "The Distinguished Conduct Medal 1914-1920 Citations" published by The London Stamp Exchange Ltd this was then supplemented with information from taken from the 'Soldiers Died in the Great War' CD and then the information further supplemented with information from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Additional information has then been drawn from other reference documents, for example, National Roll of the Great War.

Links are provided to the war memorials that exist on-line for these men wherever pertinent and any photographs also linked. Hopefully this will provide a comprehensive set of information.
