LOCAL BUTCHER'S FATE - A GOOD SOLDIER News has this week been received by Mrs Newton, 45 St George's St, that her husband, Corporal Albert Edward Newton, Royal Field Artillery, was killed in action... on the afternoon of February 15th... Corporal Newton was exceedingly well-known in the town, particularly in the Sutton area, having for many years carried on business as a butcher in Cross St. He was 28 years of age and was educated at St James School. He enlisted in February 1917, and had been serving in France over six months. He had been in the Army just twelve months on the day he was killed. Two brothers-in-law are serving in France.
