After researching into some of the Old Bordenian students who were involved in the conflict I came across some information regarding Audley Andrew Dowell Lee.
Audley Andrew Dowell LEE was the second son of Rev. Dr. and Mrs W Dowell Lee of Deytheur, Llansantffraid, Montgomershire where he was born on 3 April 1895. He entered Oundle (New House) in January 1908 and left in July 1914. He went up to Lincoln College, Oxford in October following. There he joined the O.T.C. and received a commission in the 9th Leicestershire Regiment in December 1914.
He went to France in October 1915 and was through the Somme Battles in 1916. For good work in July of that year he was awarded the Military Cross, January 1917. He was promoted Captain in October 1916.
He fell on October 1 1917 while leading his company forward to repulse a heave attack. An officer wrote: “We feel his loss more than words can express, for he was beloved by all ranks”.
