TWISTON SOLDIERS LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES

Last week-end news reached Twiston of the death of Pioneer James Leeming, who had lived with his sister at Ings End. When the call was made, last December, for men experienced in road-making to go to France for service on the roads there, deceased responded along with other employees of the Bowland Council, in whose employ he had been at Gisburne for over twenty years. He joined the Roads Batt. of the R.E.’s on the 18th December, and arrived in France a month later. Death was due to cerebro-spinal meningitis, and occurred on the 8th inst. Deceased who was 45 years of age, and a widower, leaves three children.

Another Twiston soldier, Private Edward T. Hudson, King’s Own Royal Lancaster Regt., has also been reported killed on June 6th. Thirty-six years of age, he was married and enlisted on January 6th. Prior to joining up, he worked at Blackburn, but was formerly an insurance agent at Colne and Nelson. A member of an old Barnoldswick family, he had lived in the Twiston district for several years.
