Albert lived in Liverpool Road, Maghull, and attended Ormskirk Grammar School. He was the son of Albert and Elizabeth, and worked as an office junior for his father’s business, Cuddy and Bell architects, in Hackins Hey, off Dale Street, Liverpool. He joined the Lancashire Hussars Yeomanry before the war, and served in Ireland until 1916, including being stationed at the Curragh, near Dublin. After the amalgamation of the Hussars with the King’s (Liverpool Regiment) , he went to France, and died of wounds sustained in battle. Private Cuddy is buried in Lijssenthoek cemetery, Belgium. After the war his parents visited the grave, as did family members in 2017 to mark the 100th anniversary of his death. Albert is pictured on the cover of this booklet riding a horse.
