United Parish Magazine, St Peter’s Church, Martley, July 1917:
We regret to hear that George Woodyatt is reported missing and that this dated from some weeks ago. It is feared that he may be killed, as time has passed enough for news to have come round if he were a prisoner; we shall all sympathise with his parents and young wife in their anxiety.
