He is therefore wounded and missing . But as far as I know there is no evidence that he is dead . He was the last man to come back when the regiment had to re- treat , and he was hit during the retirement and was not seen again . Unfortunately it was quite impossible to look for him . He is a great loss to us all , and was such a fine man all round , and I sympathise with you most deeply and can under- stand your great anxiety . I have known him for many years and always had the utmost respect and I can only hope that he may be a regard for him prisoner in He is quite the greatest Germany . loss we have had .

DIGGING UP RECREATION GROUND . To the Editor of the Kington Times . Sir , I had the pleasure of reading a " Kington . Times " a few days ago . I was very interested in the digging up of the Recreation Ground . As I am a Kington Ratepayer I feel I must write a few lines on the subject . By your paper I see there were a good many against doing so . I sincerely hope they will win . " I am very much against it . I think it is a great shame to dig up the only pleasure ground we have and I am greatly sur prised to see certain gentlemen " in favour of digging it up . Yours sincerely , H.

He was ap prenticed to his father's firm of chemists in Hull . His eldest brother Harold Hall has been in the army over 3 years , serving in the Yeomanry in Egypt and Palestine . KINGSLAND . Mr. and Mrs. J. Spencer , of The Criftins , Kings land , have received information that their nephew . Corporal George Stanley Sutherland , was killed in . action in France on April 7th . He was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. George Sutherland , late of Bitterley , Ludlow . He enlisted in the Scots Guards at the commencement of the war and had been wounded three times . He was 21 years of age . There are two other brothers serving with the Forces . KIMBOLTON MAN WOUNDED . K.S.L.I. PRISONERS OF WAR FUND , bolton , have received official notice that their , eldest To the Editor of the Kington Times . Sir - I shall be very much obliged if you will allow me to make an appeal to the county , through your columns , for assistance to the K.S.L.I. Prisoners of War Fund . As is generally known , large numbers of Here- fordshire men have always served in the KS.1.1 . , but recently the 3/1 Herefordshire Regt . ( T.F. ) were transferred as a body to the 4th K.S.I..I . - total 756 N.C.O's and men - and still more Herefordshire men have been drafted to the various battalions on the Western front . Although the wants of prisoners of war of the Herefordshire Regt . ( T.F. ) are being dealt with by the Comforts Fund already established in the county , there is no fund at present for assisting the many Herefordshire men now serving in the K.S.L.I. It is therefore with the greatest confidence that I submit the claims of the Prisoners of War Fund of this gallant regiment , which has eight battalions in the fighting line , to the generous con- sideration of all classes in the county . now Owing to the heavy recent fighting in France it is unofficially expected that 200-400 prisoners may shortly be reported , and if the numbers reach 400 we must be prepared to face the fact that £ 16,000 will be needed during the year to supply the me with the absolute necessities of life - all repatriated prisoners confirming the fact that but for the food parcels from home they could not have lived through their captivity Why this is so and why such very different treat- ment should be accorded to Gerinan ( prisoners in this country I do not know , and it would be un- profitable to enter into at the moment - the fact remains that these gallant men have been fighting for their King and country , for you and I , in the most hideous war the world has ever seen ; they are now in captivity and practically starving but for what is sent them by their friends at home . The packing of the food parcels at Shrewsbury is carried out ' entirely by voluntary workers . Three parcels of food are sent to cach man every fort bread night , costing 8s . each , also and smokes . Total cost per man , 3 per month . The despatn of parcels and the whole working of the scheme is under the supervision of the Central Committee for Prisoners of War in London . All subscriptions will be received by Mrs. Luard , South Bank , Hereford , hon . secretary and treasurer , who will also gladly give particulars as to adoption of a prisoner or prisoners by a locality , and if any parishes , towns or villages can help in this way it ) She will be the greatest assistance to the fun . will also be most rateful to all those who could get up entertainments or collect money in any way for the fund . J. R. G. COTTERELL , Garnons , Hereford , May 8th , 1918 . Lord Lieutenant . We are glad to learn that the suggested memorial to our local soldiers who have made the supreme sacrifice I may add that his Worship the Mayor of Here- in this great war is taking shape and a resolution was ford is taking great interest in this matter , and is unanimously adopted at the Town Council on Tuesday , calling a meeting in support of the fund at the on the proposition of the Mayor ( Councillor , J. B. Shirehall , Hereford , on May 1sth , at which I have Dowding ) and seconded by Councillor H. J. Southall . It promised to preside , and at which I hope all who was proposed to include men from the Borough of are able will make an effort to attend . Yours , etc .. Leominster and the adjoining parishes . For some time there has been a desire on the part of the public generally to provide a memorial worthy of the gallant soldiers who have rallied to their country's call . No doubt the financial appeal will meet with an immediate and generous response . Happily there is no need to awaken the gratitude of the public : it is already so warm and sincere as to be impatient to manifest itself . Now that a definite suggestion is made we do not doubt that donations will roll in upon the Mayor of Leomin- ster ( Councillor J. B. Dowding ) . The actual form of the memorial will be decided by the result of the appeal being made . It appears at present that to the majority a monument should be erected in a prominent place in the town . AN APPEAL BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE N.F.U. Mr. and Mrs. G. Leddington , of The Hundred , Kim- son , Lance - Corporal L. G. Leddington , K.S.L.I. , was wounded in the left arm by gun - shot , on March 18th , and is now in Liverpool Hospital . Lance - Corporal Leddington joined the forces in November , 1914 . K.S.L.I.

" Could we but see them once again And weep above their bier , T'would case our sorrow of some pain To feel their dust was near . Laid with their kith and kin to rest In God's calm acre near , Where ruthless foe may not molest , Nor shot and shell may tear . But no we only see them now As on that day they rode Away , with smile on lip and brow , Hiding their heart ache's load . Guaging all that they were leaving , Kindred , home , and life's sweet round , A willing sacrifice , to keep Their Country's Freedom sound . Facing war's horrors only those Can know , who in them sliare ,. Days when each moment . brings Nights of nerve - racking scare . No pen these horrors can bring home , They must be lived to tell ; By sea and land our Heroes face Things worse than death or hell . been death blows , Oh , hearts sore - stricken with this blow , Receive its call to Thee : Not here its purpose is made clear , But there we all shall see . Now from all this thy loved one's He lives in brighter spheres , Where One we seek in time of need " Will wipe away all tears . " Wigmore Vicarage , April , 1918 . DILWYN . free , S. 1.

The Mayor proposed a vote of condolence be for- warded from this Council to the son of Lieut . - Colonel the Hon . G. H. W. Windsor Clive , who died last Friday . The late Col. Clive had been a gentleman who had helped Ludlow wonderfully . He was for twenty - five years Member of Parliament for the Borough . Councillor E. T.

WATCH COMMITTEE . to The Committee reported the Chairman had presented an application for increasing rates of allowances officers and firemen attending fires in the Borough and for an additional call allowance for country fires . The matter was deferred pending further particulars and in- formation . Councillor Evans moved the adoption and said the Committee was favourably considering the application of the fire brigade . Another thing he wished to bring forward was the depletion of the fire brigade , which was reduced to one half and was under 50 years of age . They were greatly in need of volunteers , who should attend drills and become efficient , and he hoped they would get volunteers , as there was never a time when the fireman was doing work of national importance and it was important that the fire brigade should be kept up to its normal strength . Councillor Parsonage seconded .-- Carried . MARKET AND FAIRS . " The Committee reported they had let the plots for the May Fair to Mr. Peters and Mr. Taylor .

The Committee reported that Dr. White referred to an application under the Housing Act . The matter was deferred . He also reported there had been no cases . of infectious disease . The Deputy Inspector of Nuisances was instructed to see the owners of Abbey House respecting the dis cussion on the meadow taken for allotments . They had employed a man to kill rats on the tip : several hundred had been killed and the matter was receiving further attention . Councillor Campbell moved the adoption . Mr. Butters , Sanitary Inspector , explained the position of the drain at Abbey House . He considered it should be discontinued .

The Newbury district of Berkshire reports ditional acres , and this is believed to be typical of a number , of other districts in the county and adjoining Yorkshire promises well . Representative re- ports from Escrick ( East Riding ) and Selby ( West Riding ) give increases of 200 and 117 acres respectively . In the West Riding small holders are being especially appealed to for further plantings and are responding Garbett , the increase , worked out to exactly the amount liberally .
