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’.
