MOORE – Missing since April 11th 1917, Lance-Corporal Stanley H. Moore, younger son of Mr. J. W. Moore, headmaster of the Reeth Friends’ School, aged 19 years.
18 May 1917
WENSLEYDALE – PATRIOTIC REETH FAMILY
Mr. J.W. Moore, headmaster of Reeth Friends’ School, and chairman of the Local Tribunal, has received an intimation from the War Office that his youngest son, Lance-Corp. Stanley H. Moore, aged nineteen years, has been missing since the 11th of April, after an engagement in the field.
The announcement will cause widespread regret, as the boy was extremely popular and universally respected. During the past four years he has been employed in the offices of Messrs. Pease and Partners, Darlington.
Mr. and Mrs. Moore have two other sons serving with the Colours, while their eldest son, who was a Territorial, joined up at the outbreak of the war, and was discharged last year as a time-expired man and certified as unfit for further service.
