Lives of the First World War

known 1917

There is sad news from the village of Husbands Bosworth which ‘within the space of seven days has had to mourn the loss of three brave young sons who have given their all for the sake of freedom and justice’. Private John Martin, 20, who only joined up in February this year, has been killed in action and so has Private Geo Cross. News of their sacrifice comes shortly after the death of Corporal Horace Mathews whose passing was reported in last week’s Advertiser.
