Title: Sudbury Ringer killed in action

Description: The ringers of Sudbury, Suffolk, have lost a much respected colleague, Mr. C. W. Lee, who was killed, in action in France in November. The deceased was the only son of Mr. W. Lee, another well-known Sudbury ringer, who met with an, unfortunate accident at Sudbury Railway Station siding some few weeks back. His brother ringers sympathise with him in the loss of his son, and wish him a speedy recovery from the effects of his accident. As a tribute to the memory of the young soldier, half-muffled touches of Grandsire Triples were rung on the bells of All Saints' Church, on December 16th, by the following: C Poulson, A Symonds and S H Symonds (Lavenham), A Perry, G Tatum, A Scott, S J Howell, A Cardy (Sudbury).

Title: RINGERS IN ACCIDENT.

Description: As the ringers were making homewards they were almost run down by a motor-car on the Market Hill, Mr A Symonds being nearly under the off-side front wheel, and Mr Cardy, more unfortunate, was knocked down under the bonnet of the car and sIightly injured in the back. The rest happily escaped. This accident provided a curious coincidence. On the 100th anniversary of the death of Lord Nelson the bells of All Saints' Church were rung, muffled, and Mr Symonds, who had been assisting the Sudbury ringers, went up to the bells with Mr Cardy, after the ringing, to remove the muffles. While they were doing this, Mr Symonds slipped off the frame under the tenor, cutting his head and hurting his shoulder. After ringing muffled for the late Mr Lee the other day, the same two went up to take off, the muffles, and Mr Cardy reminded his friend of the previous incident, and warned him not to fall under the tenor again. We are glad to state than Mr Cardy was able to walk home after his accident.
