Died of Wounds
Pte. Thomas Stanley, M.G.C (son of Mrs Stanley, 7 Trinity Gardens, Worcester) has died from wounds. An officer, in a letter of sympathy says that he was wounded in the chest by a piece of shell in an action which was a complete success. He adds: “It is to be regretted that your son did not live to know how well his comrades did. While with me I always found your son to be most willing and conscientious and was always thought well of by the men of the section.”
Pte. Stanley joined the Army over two years ago and had been in France about 20 months. Previously he was engaged as a hay trusser.
A photograph of Private T. Stanley of Worcester can be found in Berrow’s Worcester Journal Supplement, Saturday 2nd November 1918, available at Worcestershire Archives.
