COALVILLE SOLDIERS WOUNDED
FOUGHT AND FELL SIDE BY SIDE
Lying side by side in the hospital at Leicester are Pte. F. Wilson and Pte. Hancock, both of the 1st Battalion, Coldstream Guards, who were fighting together in France when they were wounded and were brought to the hospital together last week. Pte. Wilson’s home is in Hotel Street, Coalville, and Pte. Hancock resides at Ravenstone. Both are married men.
Wilson received a bullet wound in the foot and Hancock was struck on the shoulder with a piece of shell. We were pleased to learn on enquiry yesterday that both men were doing well.
