United Parish Magazine, Holt:
May 1918
We record with much sorrow the death of Arthur Neems in action on Good Friday. He was killed instantaneously – a little relief to his relations. Private Hadland has died from wounds. George Williams is reported to be a prisoner of war in German hands. On the other hand WJ Wharton has received a military medal for gallant conduct.
