Harrogate Herald - 28th
November 1917
Roll of Honour
Mrs Marson, of 47 Skipton Road, Harrogate, whose husband, Private
Fred Marson (WY - attached Northumberland Fusiliers), was
reported missing since October 13th, has now had intimation that he
is killed. In a letter received from his officer he says :
"....... A good Christian man, whose unvarying bravery,
unflinching courage, and whose many deeds of kindness will never be
forgotten by me, and by many of my officers and men. He was always
ready to volunteer for any work, however difficult or unpleasant,
but on the last day we saw him he was a real hero, doing the work he
loved best, rescuing the wounded under heavy fire, again and again,
risking his life without any hesitation". A memorial service
will be held at Elim Hall tomorrow (Sunday) at 7pm.
