Tunstill’s Company suffered a second death arising from the
outbreak of measles which had occurred in October. Joshua Crossley, like the first victim, Walter Isherwood (see 27th
October) was just 16 years old. He had enlisted at the meeting held in
Grindleton (see 16th September). Like Isherwood, Crossley’s death
was stated to be a result of measles and pneumonia. The news was conveyed to
his family by telegram the same day.
