Title: Death of Evan Nicholls

Description: Text: "LLANDEWY. The sad news was received on Friday morning, that Pte. Evan Nicholls, 1st Herefords, and formerly an employee at Llandewy Stores, and nephew of Mr Evan Nicholls (County Stores) had fallen on the field of action in Egypt. He was only 19 years of age, and waa a young lad beloved by every one who knew him. His death cast quite a gloom over the village, as it seemed only yesterday since he was amongst his friends in the full pride of youthful health and happiness."
