Extract from the Bedfordshire Times and Independent 4 February 1916. TODDINGTON. A grand concert was given in the Wesley Hall on Jan. 28 by the R.E. Band from Houghton Regis. The Band's playing was much enjoyed and the recitations and songs by individual members of the Ban were well received. The object was to help the trust funds of the primitive Church and about £4 10s was raised. The Wesleyan Church is naturally proud of the response her sons have made to their country's call. The roll of honour is hung up in the church with the names of those who have gone int H.M. Forces, some of whom have been wounded at the front and one of whom has laid down his life for his King and Country. The list contains the following name:- Stanley W. Page, Royal Military Mounted Police. Extract from the Luton News and Bedfordshire Chronicle 20 November 1917. TODDINGTON FAMILY'S RECORD. Mr. J Page, of Toddington has given two sons and three grandsons to the Army, whilst a third son is engaged in national service in London. The two sons are now serving in France and the eldest grandson is in Palestine, but the other two have made the great sacrifice. Pte. John W K Page eldest son, joined the MT. ASC. on convoy work, and has left at home in London a wife and two boys. He writes home very cheerful letters and says that though things are sometimes very hot out there they are pushing the Germans well back and must defeat them in the end. The third son, Cpl Stanley William Page, joined the Northampton Borough Constabulary in 1912 and when in 1915 the call came for men for the Military Mounted Police he with 18 others volunteered for service. He has now been in France a year and ten months, his company being attached to a cavalry brigade. He also speaks very hopefully of the outlook.
