SKIPTON STRETCHER BEARER KILLED – PTE. CHARLES ARTHUR STOTT
We regret to record the death in action on June 10th of Private Charles Arthur Stott, Duke of Wellington’s West Riding Regt., whose wife and child live at 14, Bennett Street, Skipton. The sad news first came to hand in a letter written by Pte. J. W. Atkinson, of Skipton, to his mother, and was confirmed by the following letter from Sec.-Lieut. J. P. Dickinson:– “I am very sorry to have to inform you of the death of your husband, who was killed in action on June 10th after having done three days’ magnificent work as a stretcher-bearer. He was killed instantaneously while carrying a stretcher away. I am very sorry to have lost him, as I have never had a more willing and conscientious worker, and although he was not over strong he did not let it stand in his way, but worked untiringly. Please accept the deepest sympathy from the N.C.O.s and men of his platoon, and also from his fellow stretcher-bearers.”
The official intimation from the War Office was received on Friday last. Deceased, whose mother lives at Brookside, Skipton, was 33 years of age, and in civil life was a clerk and was connected with the Skipton Parish Church. He joined up in August 1916, and went out to the Front last January.
