Harrogate Herald - 29th August 1917

A letter from a comrade intimates that C F Horner, Lewis gun section, of Harrogate, was killed instantaneously on the 28th April by a bursting shell, and was buried in a cemetery close to the line. The writer got the information from a chum who was with Horner at the time he was killed, and expresses his deepest sympathy with the bereaved mother.
