MARTON – DEATH FROM WOUNDS

We regret to announce the death of Pte. Charles Lickers, from wounds received in France. He was formerly in the employ of Colonel Roundell of Gledstone. Although deceased had not lived long in the neighbourhood he was well known, being a member of the village football and cricket clubs, fond of athletics, and was one of the first from this district to answer his country’s call. A memorial service was held in the Parish Church on Sunday last.
