Tuesday 3rd November 1914

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.
