Hello Richard,
Kingsley Mozart Cody was killed on the first day of the Battle of the Somme (1st July 1916). He was a Private in the Devonshire Regiment and is remembered at Serre Cemetery No.2, France.
I am researching his family for a good friend of ours - Kingsley was his great Uncle. Do you have a particular interest in this CODY family
Best Wishes, Carroll
Kingsley Mozart Cody was my great-great grandmother's son.
I have lots of information about the family including photos. Very happy to swop stories with anyone who gets in touch.
Anne
