Harrogate Herald - 9th January 1918

W H Breare letter

I have two further cases of missing this week, in which I should like to claim the help of you boys. Private J Franklin (30685), Lancs Fusiliers, D Company, Salonica Forces, has been written to almost every week, and had several parcels sent to him, and yet in his letters home he still keeps asking when they are going to write. He last time they heard from him was about six weeks ago. Twelve letters were returned one week. If this should catch the eye of Franklin or any of his comrades, will they please forward his proper address to Mr J Franklin, 34 Nidd Vale Terrace, Harrogate.

In loving memory of Private J A Franklin, 6th Lancashire Fusiliers, killed in action in France, October 10th, 1918 – From his loving mother, father, sister and brother.
