Beaumaris WW1

WAR ITEMS. - A batch of young men left on Saturday and Monday, having enlisted in Lord Kitchener's Army. From the garden staff at Baron Hill, four have gone, and two from the household staff. Mr Joyce, keeper at Penmon Park, who has already seen service in the Army has re-joined the colours. The Rector addressed a meeting of the women members of the congregation of St. Mary's at the Church Room on Monday evening. He delivered a timely and helpful address on the duties and responsibilities of the women at home in the present crisis. - Sanction has been obtained to raise a "Holyhead" company for the Royal Anglesey Special Reserve Royal Engineers. A splendid response was made to the appeal for recruits. The men will train here at the regimental depot, and the first batch arrive on Wednesday. At the end of the present week it is expected that the company will be at full strength.
