Personal life 9 months after the outbreak of the First World War, Codd enlisted in the Football Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment in May 1915. In June 1916, Codd was hit by shrapnel in the left eye at Vimy Ridge and, suffering from severe shell shock, was carried two miles back to safety under heavy fire by fellow footballer Arthur Mounteney. Codd lost the eye and later served in the Army Service Corps before his discharge from the army in June 1918.
