BARNOLDSWICK SOLDIER KILLED
Confirmation was received last weekend of an unofficial report received some days previously concerning the death of Private James Ormerod Tattersall, of the West Riding Regiment (Lewis Gun Team), who was killed in action in France on December 14th. He was 23 years of age and the son of Mr. James Tattersall, 11, Leonard Street, Barnoldswick. A pathetic circumstance is that Private Tattersall only recently returned home after spending fourteen months in France, and was married at the Wesleyan Church on November 27th to Miss Edith Alice Whiteoak, 143, Burnlea Terrace, where the widow is now residing. Pte. Tattersall only returned to France on December 5th. He had previously been slightly wounded in July last, and spent two months in a base hospital.
