Dodington Family History
Biographical Information
Lt Thomas Marriott Dodington
(1894 --- July 1 1916)
Lt TMD was one of many young officers killed in the First World War. I include information on him, here, as we both have the same name (so I am curious about his life), and I have some information on his war experiences since he kept a diary during part of his service. He was the eldest son of Roger Dodington, and lived at Horsington (information elsewhere on this site). TMD was one of six children: a son and daughter of his brother James are living in S. Africa. TMD's trench diary, photo scrapbook, military history, and the newspaper article are at the Somerset Light Infantry Office in Taunton, Somerset, England.
