Name: August 17, 1915, edition, Market Harborough Advertiser

Title: Blog of John Dilley, 17 August 2015

Description: The August 17, 1915, edition of the Market Harborough Advertiser reports on the deaths of three soldiers who all died in peculiar circumstances. Private C Clements, a former Harborough man, was killed just moments after returning to the Gallipoli frontline following a spell in hospital for a bayonet wound. During a ‘gallant charge on a Turkish position’ Private Clements was bayoneted in the foot but made a ‘splendid recovery’ after treatment in a hospital in Alexandria and was able to return to the fighting line. “All the boys were just greeting him on his return from hospital when a Turkish shell dropped in the trench and killed him,” says the report. Private Clements, who leaves a wife and child, had been living in Manchester but had previously worked at Harborough Rubber and had lived in School Lane, Market Harborough.
