ANOTHER GAYLE LAD FALLS IN ACTION

The war is demanding a heavy toll of the young manhood of Hawes and district, and it is with deep regret that we record the death in action of Pte. Nathan Burton Iveson, Yorks. Regiment, second son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Iveson, Gayle, Hawes. The sad news was conveyed to the sister in a letter last Thursday from his Commanding Officer:– “I regret to inform you that your brother, Pte. Iveson, has been killed in action. Although he had only been with us a short time, we highly appreciated his services; all the officers and men of the Company join me in extending heartfelt sympathy in your sad bereavement. You have at least the satisfaction of knowing that he died doing his duty to King and Country.”

Pte. Iveson joined up in November 1916, and went overseas last May. ‘Nat’ Iveson, as he was familiarly called, won the respect and liking of all with whom he came in contact. He was ready at all times to do a good turn whenever such was needed. He was a devoted son and brother and a true friend and loyal comrade. Previous to joining the Army he was in the employ of the Aysgarth Rural District Council as road contractor, and his steady application to duty and his conscientious work earned him the confidence and esteem of his employees. His death will be deeply deplored by a host of friends and truest sympathy is felt for his sisters and brothers in their great loss.

HAWES – Memorial Service

A memorial service for local soldiers fallen in the war during the past year was held in St. Margaret’s Church on Sunday. The names of the soldiers honoured were Private C.H. Jones, Private N.B. Iveson, Pte. M[H]. Cockett, Private R.T. Metcalfe, Private R. Alderson and Gunner M. Calvert. The Hawes Volunteers and Cadets under Second-Lieutenant H.A. Crallen marched to the church. The choir and clergy were preceded to the chancel by Cadet Kenneth Wilson carrying the Union Jack (draped). A special form of service was used, and the hymns ‘Rock of Ages,’ ‘Brief life is here our portion,’ and ‘On the Resurrection Morning’ were sung. The vicar, the Rev. S.D. Crawford, gave an impressive address. The Dead march was played on the organ after the sermon by Mrs. Place, and the ‘Last Post’ sounded by Mr. J. Blades.
