Harrogate Herald - 31st October 1917

W H Breare letter

I should be glad if any of you can give me information respecting the following two soldiers who are missing - Private Tom Baren, 36662, East Yorkshires. His wife lives at The Hollins, Killinghall; the other soldier is Corporal Elsworth, 02447, 1/5th West Yorks. Baren was reported wounded on the 13th of May, and a fortnight later was said to be missing. Nothing has been heard since. He was pantry man at the Cairn Hydro. Elsworth's mother resides at 43 King Edward's Drive. She had news from his brother who is in the same regiment, that Corporal Elsworth was wounded on the 9th October and missing; nothing has since been heard from him at home.
