I am undertaking some research into members of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers who died in the First World War. I am particularly interested in members of the Regiment who are buried in this county.

I know that an old RWF resident of Burwell who died during WW1 is buried in St Mary's. His name is Clifford Edward Bridgeman. I have a photo of his gravestone and also a photo of the plaque in the church in my files. I am trying to find more information about this man.

Is anyone able to shed any more light on this mans life and death ?

Any info gratefully received. Thanks.
