‘The Stockton and Thornaby Herald’ (22 December 1917)

LOCAL WAR ITEMS

Lieut. Ronald H. Archer, of Stockton, is reported wounded, and in hospital.

‘The Stockton and Thornaby Herald’ (5 January 1918)

STOCKTON SOLICITOR KILLED

The sad news was received at his residence at Yarm last Saturday of the death of Second-Lieut. Ronald H. Archer, of the firm of Archer, Parkin, and Archer, solicitors, Stockton.

Lieut. Archer was for some time an active officer of the Stockton V.T.C. before he enlisted for army service abroad.

Some days ago he was wounded in the leg in France, and on Christmas Eve it was found necessary to amputate the limb. He died in hospital on Thursday.

The deceased officer was well known on Tees-side, and much sympathy will be extended to his widow and three children, who are left to mourn his loss.
