Wednesday 18th June 1919


Pte. George Singleton (see 14th June 1918), was married at the Parish Church in Bolton-by-Bowland to Alice Mason, who was the sister of Pte. James Mason (see 28th April 1917). George’s brother, Pte. Robert Singleton (see 30th January), was best man. It would be reported in the Craven Herald that, ‘Both bride and bridegroom are much respected in the parish, the former having been a Sunday School teacher for some years and the latter having served in the war since 1914. The bride, who was given away by her brother, was prettily attired in white, her bridesmaid being Miss Geldard, cousin of the bridegroom. The best man was Mr. Robert Singleton, brother of the bridegroom. The Rev. C.C. Broadhurst officiated. As the bridal party left the Church Mr. Lambert played the Wedding March and the bells rang out a merry peal, the happy pair having the very best wishes of the interested congregation. They were the recipients of many useful presents’.
