WOUNDED AND MISSING

Mrs. Davies, 13 Milton Street, Skipton, is much troubled as to the fate of her husband, Lance-Sergeant Harold Davies, West Riding Regiment, from whom she has heard nothing since November 26th. On that date he was reported wounded in the knee and was taken to the dressing station, but since then all trace of him seems to have been lost. Mrs. Davies will be glad of any news of him.
