ASHBY SOLDIER KILLED

Much regret was caused in Ashby by the news of the death of Private William Tucker, of the Yorks and Lancashire Regiment, who, according to a letter from his company commander, was recently killed in action. The deceased was the son of Mr and Mrs H. Tucker, of Tamworth Road, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, who, with the members of their family, will receive the full sympathy of the people of Ashby and the neighbourhood. Mr Tucker’s three sons joined the army immediately following the outbreak of the war. At the present time the youngest son is at home, having been wounded.
