Market Harborough Advertiser 31/10/1941:

Market Harborough First Naval Casualty.

After sixteen months of anxious waiting, sad news has been received by Mr and Mrs LH Tebbutt of 1, Rogan Way, Market Harborough, in the form of a letter from the Admiralty announcing the death of their 18 year old son, Mechanic l. Tebbutt, whilst serving on HM Ship Glorious.

Mechanic Tebbutt is an old pupil of the Market Harborough Grammar School. Before joining the Navy nearly three years ago, he was employed at the Harborough Rubber Company Works. He is the first Market Harborough Naval casualty in the war.

Mr and Mrs Tebbutt received an intimation on June 11th 1940 that their son was missing, but they had never given up hoping that he was picked up by the enemy after the sinking of the Glorious.
In the communication that they have now received the Admiralty says:-
'It is with very great regret that they have been obliged to presume the death of all the officers and men of HM Ship Glorious.
As you are aware, the German Government stated in their official communique that some hundreds of prisoners had been taken after the action in which the Glorious and other ships were lost, and this statement made it impossible to presume the death of missing officers and men until every effort had been made to investigate the German claim. With this object in view, inquiries were made through the British and International Red Cross Societies and the United States Government obtained all possible sources of information through diplomatic channels. The result of these inquiries leaves no doubt that the prisoners mentioned in the German communique must in fact have been taken from other ships which were sunk during the same operation.
My Lords the Admiralty are therefore no longer able to hold out any hope of the survival of your son and they have now been obliged to make an official presumption that his death on active service occurred in June 9th 1940.
Regret is expressed at the long continued suspense and anxiety due to the impossibility of reaching so vital a decision whilst any element of reasonable doubt remained.'
