Burial: Arras Memorial, Arras, Département du Pas-de-Calais, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France (died 17 Jul 1917). Evidence: Find A Grave Find A Grave. Retrieved 9 Jun 2026. [2026-06-13 Ancestry] FALLEN -- WWI. Serjeant Anthony Edward Chedzoy, b. 19 Nov 1891, Marylebone, London (son of Joseph Chedzoy + Eliza Ann). Enlisted 9 Nov 1915, served in THE BUFFS (Royal East Kent Regiment). KILLED 17 Jul 1917 at Arras; commemorated on the ARRAS MEMORIAL. Sources: CWGC 1914-1921; De Ruvigny's Roll of Honour 1914-1919 (illustrated casualty volume -- may carry a photo + biography); WWI Pension Ledger (relative Mrs Eliza Ann Chedzoy); National Probate Calendar (has a will/effects). >>> DUPLICATE: #719 "Anthony Edward Chedzoy" b.1891 Marylebone is the same man (bare birth-index capture) -- MERGE #719 into #1993. [2026-06-13 CWGC] REGIMENT CORRECTED: CWGC (authoritative) gives Serjeant Anthony Edward Chedzoy, service no. G/18901, 6th Bn QUEENS OWN (ROYAL WEST KENT REGIMENT) -- not "The Buffs" as De Ruvigny implied (likely a transfer or De Ruvigny error). KIA 17 Jul 1917, commemorated ARRAS MEMORIAL, Bay 7. WWI pension to mother Mrs Eliza Ann Chedzoy, of BRIDGWATER, Somerset -> this London-born man has SOMERSET family roots. De Ruvigny Roll of Honour entry may carry his photo + bio. [2026-06-13 Ancestry] Biographical enrichment for the Roll of Honour. Mother = Eliza Ann PEARCE (per Chidzey/Farrow tree). Baptised 3 Jan 1892, London. Home in 1915: 105 BATH ROAD, BRIDGWATER, Somerset (family moved London->Bridgwater). RICH SOURCES FOR A PAGE: (1) UK British Army WWI SERVICE RECORD survives -- usually physical description, attestation, next of kin; (2) De Ruvigny Roll of Honour (1914-19) -- likely a PORTRAIT + bio, and public-domain (safe to reproduce); (3) a Public Member Story / written biography exists; (4) probate/will. Could not render images this session (browser screenshot tool down). CHECK: an "Edward Chedzoy" in the Ancestry CWGC index (b.Apr 1891 Chapel-en-le-Frith) -- probably Anthony Edward re-indexed; verify not a 5th casualty. [2026-06-14 evidence] Find A Grave memorial #124942347. Photo of a Chedzoy family grave (inscr. 1917 + Eliz. 1918) attached as private evidence (FamilyDocument #3) -- likely the Bridgwater family grave commemorating him + his mother Eliza Ann; verify inscription. (Also a 2008 photo on the memorial = the Arras Memorial itself, not captured.)
