After about three months training he was sent to France, where he was wounded in the leg in the following year. Shortly after recovering he was again wounded, this time through the shoulder. He retuned to France, where he has been stationed ever since, except for the short leave which he had a few months ago. In civil life he was a popular member of St. Anne’s football Club, and was well liked by many friends. His parents are old Worksop residents, and are well known in the town. Much sympathy is expressed with them and their family in their bereavement.
