Description: Mrs Skern, of Swinefleet, has received information from the British Red Cross Society that her youngest son, Herbert, private in the Durham Light Infantry, who was reported missing on the 27th May, 1918, is a prisoner of war in Germany. Pte Skern is a well known Swinefleet youth who joined the forces in May, 1917 and is the youngest of four brothers, all of whom are in the fighting area. The eldest, William Skern, is a gunner in the RFA, who enlisted in May, 1916, served the greater part of his time in Mesopotamia, crossed to Egypt, and from thence to France, where he is now serving. The other two brothers are Ernest Skern, a lance corporal in the KOYLI and George Skern, a private in the same regiment. Both enlisted at the beginning of the war and will have been three years in France next September.
