A WREXHAM OFFICER RETURNING FROM THE FRONT.
A cable has been received at Wrexham stating that Lieutenant Geoffrey Jones-Parry, who accompanied the Royal Welsh Fusiliers (Volunteer Contingent) to South Africa, has been invalided home. The unfortunate officer is the youngest son of Mr. T. P. Jones-Parry, J.P., of Llwyn, Wrexham. No one was more anxious than he to proceed to the scene of hostilities, and when he left Wrexham with his company Lieutenant Jones-Parry looked the picture of health.
