Remembering Eric With the centenary of WW1 approaching I picked just one name at random from one Nottingham war memorial tp see what I could discover. After 12 months research, and having traced his nearest living relative, I have discovered more of the life of Corporal William Eric Woodward (1899-1919) Durham Light Infantry that I could ever have expected. Following his death his Scout master presented, in his memory, an album of photographs to his mother. The photographs detail the formation of the 1st Caledonian Scout troop at Blackwood, Nottingham from 1909. Thus the post I send is remembering Eric pictured below with the 24th Nottingham Scouts (still based at the same location to this day). Eric 2nd left back row with the 24th and Baden Powell 1915 and second from back in happier times.
