Harrogate Herald - 16th January 1918

A Wheatley writes : 

I am very pleased to hear Private L Heap is going on nicely, but I am very sorry indeed to hear about F????[Fireman?] C Bearpark. I have been in his company many times when I was in England, and I also know his parents very well; I am sure they will feel the loss. He was a steady ???? good lad, and through your paper you might be good enough to give them my deepest sympathy. I was sorry to hear about Private F Hamilton. I worked at the Post Office at the same time, so, of course, I knew him well. It is very hard to hear of so many of your old chums going under.

[Note - There is a C Beerpark on the war memorial - however, no trace in SDGW]
