Further Information About LUDLOW Howard

Howard Ludlow was the son of Charles and Elizabeth Ludlow and brother of Jesse and Alfred Ludlow. In 1901 the family lived in Village Street, Harvington.

In 1917, he was serving with the 2nd Battalion, Worcestershire Regiment, 100th Brigade 33rd Division which was taking part in the Battle of Arras, (9th April – 15th May 1917). The regimental diary records that a small party of 25 men of the 2nd battalion took part in a raid on German lines on the night of 14th/15th May north of Croisilles near Arras suffering five missing and five wounded. It may well be that Howard Ludlow was one of these wounded for he is recorded as dying from wounds the 20th May 1917. He is buried in Bucquoy war cemetery, Ficheux on the D919 road 6 miles south of Arras. He was 32 years of age.
