known 18th June 1918

June 18, 1918, edition of the Market Harborough Advertiser. In one Marston Trussell home there is a sense of cautious optimism as Corporal Victor Marshall from the village is reported as wounded but a prisoner of war in Germany. He is one of five brothers who were all sent to the fighting in France. His youngest brother Private W Marshall was killed in action last November and he has three other brothers still serving.
