Official news was received yesterday by the parents of Mr Arthur Weston of Cemetery Road, Sileby, that he had been killed. He belonged to the Gordon Highlanders, and was recently married. Previous to joining the colours he was making a special study for preaching. He had a very promising career ahead of him.
