Editing Great Train Robbery (1963) (section)

===Roger Cordrey===
The first gang member to be caught was Roger Cordrey. He was with his friend, William Boal who was helping him lie low in return for the payment of old debts. They were living in a rented, fully furnished flat above a florist's shop in Wimborne Road, [[Moordown]], [[Bournemouth]]. The Bournemouth police were tipped off by Ethel Clark when Boal and Cordrey paid her for three months rent in advance on a garage in Tweedale Road, off Castle Lane West. Clark was the widow of a former police officer and Boal and Cordrey made the whole payment in used ten-shilling notes. Boal, who was not involved in the robbery, was sentenced to 24 years and died in prison in 1970. Police later acknowledged that he was the victim of a miscarriage of justice.<ref>{{cite web | title=New bid to clear name of Great Train Robber Bill Boal | first=Bob | last=Graham | work=Daily Mirror | date=13 July 2013 | url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/great-train-robbery-new-bid-2051666 | access-date=14 July 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130715005311/http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/great-train-robbery-new-bid-2051666 | archive-date=15 July 2013 | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/aboutus/aboutus-museum/aboutus-museum-gtr/aboutus-museum-gtr-gang/aboutus-museum-gtr-gang-boal.htm | title=William (Bill) Gerald Boal | publisher=Thames Valley Police | work=Force museum | access-date=21 December 2013 | url-status=bot: unknown | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131220074653/http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/aboutus/aboutus-museum/aboutus-museum-gtr/aboutus-museum-gtr-gang/aboutus-museum-gtr-gang-boal.htm | archive-date=20 December 2013 | df=dmy-all }}</ref>
