Much sympathy will be felt for Mrs Lane of High Street, Ibstock, who has recently lost her husband, and has now received news from her son Noel’s friend at the front, intimating that Noel has been killed. This has not yet been confirmed officially, however. Noel was a private in the King’s Own Scottish Borderers, which he joined less than a year ago at the age of 20, and is the second son Mrs Lane has in the army.

A memorial service was held in the Parish Church on Monday evening, for Private Noel Lane, killed in action a few weeks ago. The Church Lad’s Brigade attended, and their buglers sounded the “Last Post.”
