PRIVATE LEONARD THOMPSON, OF WENNINGTON
Much regret is felt in Wennington and district at the death of Private Leonard Thompson, of the 5th King's Own, who was reported wounded in the "Gazette" of the 8th inst. He was wounded on April 27th, and died in hospital on the 29th. Thompson, who was 26th years of age, was a native of Great Edstone, Kirby Moorside, York, and had been a servant at Wennington Hall for the past seven years. A soldier's life had no attraction for him, but he felt it his duty to answer his country's call, and joined the 5th King's Own early in September.
