Suggested edit: I am a researcher/writer in Codford, Wilts. Elijah bright did not die in France- he died of influenza and is recorded as dying in Warminster District- possibly at Codford No 3 New Zealand general Hospital. He was intially buried in a plot of land today Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery together with To Bagwell and Joseph Wessell. They were repatriated in 1920.
