FORMER FOSSE FOOTBALLER KILLED IN ACTION

News has reached Hinckley of the death in action of Private George Warren, who before joining up last summer was the licensee of the Three Tuns Inn, Hinckley. He had only been at the Front a few weeks. A letter from the commanding officer of deceased’s regiment states that Warren was shot through the head, and died instantly. Officers and men regretted his death, not merely that he was a good soldier, but because he was the “life and soul of the regiment”. Pte. Warren was well-known as a footballer. He first came into prominence as a member of the old Burton Swifts club, afterwards assisting Sheppy United in the second division of the Southern League, and Hinckley Town in the Midland League. He was transferred from Hinckley to Leicester Fosse and subsequently figured conspicuously in the Nuneaton team in the Birmingham Combination and Coventry City in the Southern League. On the cricket field he was a first-rate stumper, and in the billiard saloon one of the best cueists known in the Hinckley district.
