Henry Harold Hodges was my Grandmother's younger brother. He served in the 7th battalion Leinster Regiment. He was the son of a church of Ireland minister. He was killed in action on the Somme 13th of July 1916 aged 21. The family story is that his father on hearing the news his Father who was about to lead a church service, collapsed but picked himself up and continued to lead his church service. His cousin (their mothers were sisters and I believe their fathers were brothers) Eric Colpoys Hodges was killed two days later at The Somme.
