War News – We offer our deepest sympathy to Mr and Mrs Neems

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.

A photograph of Private A.J. Neems of Little Witley can be found in Berrow’s Worcester Journal Supplement, Saturday 20th April 1918, available at Worcestershire Archives.

Arthur Neems has no known grave, the photograph available shows his name on Arras Memorial.
