Title: Cecil Robson Cliff

Description: WAKEFIELD OFFICER'S DEATH, WIFE'S DOUBLE BEREAVEMENT HER HUSBAND AND ONLY CHILD PETER NEVILLE CLIFF DIED THE SAME DAY The death took place on Thursday morning at the residence of his father-in-law Mr Wood, Cyprus Street, St John's, Wakefield, of Lieutenant Cecil Robinson[sic] Cliff, eldest son of Mr and Mrs Sidney Cliff, Manygates Terrace, Sandal, and there was a distressing coincidence in the fact that Lieutenant and Mrs Cliff's child - a baby boy eight months old, also died the same day. Much sympathy has been expressed with the respective families in the great trouble, especially with the young widow, who married in May 1916 and has so suddenly been bereft of both her husband and child. Lieutenant Cliff, who was only 24 years of age, was educated at the Academy, York Street, and afterwards he joined his father, the Managing Director of Messrs E. P. Shaws and Co Ltd, Mineral Water manufacturers, Westgate, Wakefield.
