Friday 18th December 1914

The weekly edition of the Craven Herald carried the report of the death of local recruit Harold Greenhow (see 13th December):

BOLTON-BY-BOWLAND - MR. TUNSTILL'S RECRUITS
Sorrowful news came to the village on Mondays that Harold Greenhalgh (sic. Greenhow), one of Mr. Tunstill's recruits, and footman for Mr. Massey, of Closes Hall, had died in camp at Frensham on Sunday. Deceased had contracted measles, after which pneumonia developed to which he succumbed. This is very disappointing, as it is the third case in Mr. Tunstill's recruits, but the first in our own parish, having a similar ending.
