BARNOLDSWICK – A DEAD SOLDIER’S ESTATE

An unusual application, arising out of the war, came before His Honour Judge Macklin at the Skipton County Court on Wednesday. On behalf of Mr. Arthur Eastwood, 4 Sussex Street, Barnoldswick, Mr. J.E. Newall, solicitor, Skipton, asked for an order of the Court for the payment to the former of some money left by his son, Lce.-Cpl. Greenwood Hartley Eastwood, 2nd Batt., Coldstream Guards, who was killed in action in France on September 15th 1916.

Mr. Newall explained that under the will of his grandfather, Thomas Eastwood, Lance Corporal Eastwood, whilst an infant, became entitled to a fourth of the former’s estate, less furniture. The money, which at the time amounted to £224 5s. 11d., was paid into Court under the will, and with bank interest had since 1902 accumulated to almost £300. Lce. Cpl. Eastwood had died intestate, and his father had taken out an administration order and now petitioned for an order for the payment of the money to himself.

His Honour made the necessary order.

EASTWOOD – In loving memory of our dear son, Corporal Greenwood H. Eastwood, Coldstream Guards, killed in action September 15th 1916, aged 18 years.

He will answer no more the roll call,
Nor rush at the bugle sound;

May his name in the Book be found.

EASTWOOD – In loving memory of our dear son, Corporal Greenwood Hartley Eastwood, 2nd Coldstream Guards, killed in action at Ginchy, September 15th, 1916.

Though buried in a distant grave,
Amidst the shot and shell;
For country’s sake his life he gave,
He stood his trials well.
How oft our thoughts do wander to that sad and lonely grave.
His name is often spoken in the home he died to save.

From Father, Mother, Sisters and Brothers, 4 Sussex Street, Barnoldswick.
