HOOLE LANCE CORPORAL KILLED

“News was received last Thursday week of the death in action of Lance- Corpl. William Kay of Hoole. Much sympathy has been expressed to his parents in the loss of so promising a young man. Before the war he was employed by the Co-operative Society. Joining up in 1914 at the age of 17 and nine months, he had seen much service abroad. He was 21 and seven months old. He was educated at All Saints School, Hoole.”
