LOUGHBOROUGH FAMILY’S FINE RECORD

A fine record of family patriotism is held by Mr and Mrs W. Ludlam, of 56, Broad Street, Loughborough who have six sons in the army, one of whom was unhappily killed a few days ago. The eldest, William, is now in Mesopotamia. He is married, and his wife and three children live in Glebe Street, Loughborough. The next son, Leonard, is in France with the Hussars. Percy is in the R.A.M.C. at Sheffield, and Bert is in the Devonshire Regiment abroad. Jack, who was killed on November 1st, was in the Lancashires, and Horace, the youngest son, has joined the Leicesters, but being only 18 years of age, is waiting at home till he reaches the age for service. Mr Ludlam, the father of these fine half-dozen, is himself in munition work.
