WOUNDED

A CHESTER BANK CLERK WOUNDED

“His parents (Mr and Mrs John Evans Denbigh) have received information that their only son, Pte John Victor Evans, has been wounded in recent fighting. He, with other soldiers of the Cheshire Regiment, was relieving another battalion in the front trenches, when a shrapnel burst close to the trench, and Evans received injuries to his right shoulder and arm. He is now in a base hospital and fairly comfortable. This is the second time this young soldier to be wounded. We trust that he will speedily recover. Before joining the Army he was engaged in Parr’s Bank, Chester.”
