SKIPTON UNION BOARD OF GUARDIANS – COLONEL MAUDE’S LOSS

Before proceeding with the ordinary business, the Chairman said he felt that although Colonel Maude was no longer a member of the Board, they ought to offer him and his family their sympathy in the sorrow that had come upon them in the loss of their youngest son. They all felt what a great blow it would be to a man who, although he had his own opinions about matters, was of an affectionate and kindly nature. They must feel that there was a great shadow over his life. He had lost his sight, only for the time being he hoped, and the two blows coming together they would all feel that he needed their sympathy all the more. When he was a member of the Board, Colonel Maude and he did not always see eye to eye, but he had an answer to a letter he wrote to him, and he was thankful to say their old friendship had not in any way been disturbed. Mr. Speak seconded, and said that he agreed with all that the Chairman had said. Mr. Robinson, in supporting the resolution, said he saw Col. Maude recently, and he was then very hopeful that his son would recover. He felt certain that the loss he had sustained would come to him as a great blow. He was deserving of all their sympathy, and he was sure he had it.

The resolution was carried by the members rising in their places.

CAPTAIN G. W. E. MAUDE – Died of Pneumonia at Peshawar, India, November 5th, 1919.

We regret to announce the death at Peshawar, Punjab, India, on November 5th, of Captain Gerald William Edward Maude, the elder and only surviving son of Lieutenant-Colonel W. W. and Mrs. Maude, The Fleets, Rylstone-in-Craven. Captain Maude had served eight years in India with his regiment, the 1st Battalion, A.P.W.O., Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards), and last spring he was badly wounded by a bullet penetrating one of his lungs near Fort Dekka in Baluchistan. After three months sick leave in Kashmir, he recovered sufficiently to resume duty. On being granted a year’s leave he was hoping to embark for England on November 7th, but unfortunately he contracted a cold, which probably affected the injured lung. Pneumonia developed, and Captain Maude died on November 5th at the Military Hospital, Peshawar. He leaves a widow and one little son, and was 30 years of age.
