Note: 26th April 2012 - The widow of Sgt. T. E. Pattenden was my Great-Aunt. Her middle name was RHODA, rather than "Rosa". This is an error I have come across several times online and I don't know how it first came about. She was born Florence Rhoda Barton and she was the sister of my Grandmother, Emily Mary Barton. She was named 'Rhoda' after their grandmother, Rhoda Wilby - David Bambridge
