SPLENDID GATHERING AT HEREFORD . A rally of land workers took place at the Shire Hall , Hereford cn Saturday , when nearly 500 land workers of Herefordshire had the advantage of a most inspiring address given by the Hon . Mrs. Lyttleton , Deputy Director of the Women's Branch of the Board of Agri- Miss K. M. Maddison ( County Organising Secretaries ) , Miss Collett - Mason , Mrs. Mar- shall , Miss Chambers , Captain Hincks , Mr. Pearce Ellis , Rev. Worsey , Miss Ballard , Mrs. Deakin , Mrs. Chambers , Mrs. Nicholson , Mrs. Harris , Mrs. Halsted , and others . culture . The girls clad in their smart practi- North Herefordshire cal costume which is given them free on sign- ing on for the duration of war , assembled on the steps of the Shirehall , where they had a photograph taken . They then formed a guard of honour for Mrs. Lyttleton and the mem- bers of the Executive Committee and filed in to the Hall immediately behind them to the strains of a march . The proceedings opened . with the National Anthem and Mrs. Clowes ( Chairman of the Executive Committee ) then introduced Mrs. Lyttleton . Mrs. Clowes said she felt sure that what Mrs. Lyttleton had come to say to the land workers who were doing so much at this time to help in the national cause would encour- age and stimulate them to do still more . After having heard her address they would probably realise how much had to be done , and they would appreciate Mrs. Lyttleton's coming down from London , and further they hoped that the report of the workers when sent to London next year would prove their appreciation ( applause ) . After a brief ex- planation relative to a slight delay in the stripes granted to those who had worked on the land for a year , to which some 369 women were entitled ( applause ) , some interesting de- tails were given concerning National Service girls in the county . The number of National Service Volunteers placed in the county are 189 , the number at work at present 139. The number of village part time workers 743 and whole time village workers 446. Total of vil . lage workers 1,189 . It was regretted that the competition at Birmingham in October was held under extremely unsuitable conditions , but what they did do greatly pleased every- body . It was evident that whatever difficul- ties there were the girls were going straight ahead . One gentleman had said " Anyhow , these girls have grit , " and another had spoken to the same ecect . The girls backbone was thus appreciated ; they were doing nobly ( ap plause ) . Mrs. Lyttleton expressed the great pleasure which it afforded her to come down to Here- ford and see what was actually being done . For months and months they in London had been trying how to organise , how to place , how to dress ( laughter ) . and equip the women land workers . That was all on paper , and now she saw them all there assembled it seemed almost a miracle . They looked upon the workers , as those who were really doing great work . In their office in London they talked about it , but they did not do . For that reason the workers were people upon whom they looked with respect and even with The workers had to face all sorts of weather and had frequently to live a lonely life . They felt very proud of the women of the country and the way in which they had responded to the demand made upon them . She knew that there was other work being done ; women who did not work on the land contributed in some other way . But she would like to say that that branch of labour in which they were engaged was among the most important . There were those employed on munitions , in aeroplane making , etc. , CS- pecially necessary at this time , but not one , she repeated , was of more importance than theirs ! Having quoted Mr. Prothero's speech relative to the world's shortage of envy . food and the War . MAJOR M. C. PARRY . Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Parry , Birley Court , have received two interesting letters in reference to their son Major M. C. Parry . One writer says that Major Parry sustained a superficial but painful wound in the shoulder , and con- tinues : " We had a great day yesterday and broke clean through the Hindenburg line with the aid of Tanks and surprise . I moved two batteries forward this morning and they got in a bad place and got shelled . There were no casualties but afterwards they began again and both Majors who had been having some lunch got hit in coming out of a ruin by a shell which hit the wall behind them . I am so thankful to say neither are badly wounded and the doctor says they should be back in two months . Your son has done so splendidly and we are all so fond of him and can ifl afford to lose him . They have both gone off on stretchers - very cheery after a hot drink . " Major Parry was wounded . Another officer also writes describing how He adds : " He I will miss the fun we are having terribly . had the pleasure of catching an enemy gun in the open this morning so I hope , the Major He was so bright and cheery is avenged . and gave special instructions about his horses We and asked me to send a line to you . have had some hard times and grand times together and this last victory has been the best of all . " CAPT . CHIPP DECORATED . Information has been received that Captain W. F. Chipp , Herefordshire Regiment , has been awarded the Military Cross . At the out- break of war he was a colour sergeant i the regiment and landed at Suvla Bay with the Herefordshire Regiment , where he was wounded . He was afterwards granted a com- mission and returned to his regiment , of which he is now Adjutant . 1 Captain Chipp writing to a friend in King- ton refers to the death of Lance - Corporal Lewis Stokes , of Dolyhir , as follows : " I saw young Stokes killed . There was some wounded on a hill side , which was swept by machine gun fire . He went to try and get them under cover and was himself killed . It was a very everyone who was there or brave thing , as went there to the assistance of the wounded became a casualty . " from deterioration of the land , failure of LANCE . - CORPL . L. STOKES . crops in some parts , lapse of cultivation and other causes , Mrs. Lyttleton urged once more how vitally essential it was that they should do their best . Nothing in the world could beat the British Empire , except one thing , the lack of food . How to maintain the food sup- ply of the Army and the Nation was one of English the Government's greatest problems . people were always ready to criticise , she sometimes thought . The Government had in a few hours , sometimes a few moments , to make decisions of the most momentous char- acter . " I therefore ask you , ' she continued , " don't criticise too much " ( applause ) . That the land workers were popular they had had striking evidence in the reception which they received last month when as part of the Lord Mayor's Show they evoked all along the route of the procession the heartiest cheers . That they had to cope with hardships and that they should feel at times weary and discour- aged there was no doubt . But they should remember that however hard their life was , it was nothing to what the men at the front WOUNDED IN PALESTINE . Sergt . Information has been received that Albert Tudor , Herefordshire Regiment , son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Tudor , of Victoria Road , Kington , is in hospital at El Arish , Egypt , suffering from gun shot wound in the hip , received on November 10th . His wife and children reside at The Wych , Kington . were doing . That was simply wonderful . If SERGT . CLIFFORD MORGAN KILLED . We deeply regret to record the death of Sergt . John Clifford Morgan , Tank Corps , who died of wounds on November 20th in France . The sad news reached his parents Mr. and Mrs. Johu Morgan , The Stores , Wigmore , on Saturday by the following letter from the Major of a certain Corps of Tanks , one of which was in the charge of Sergt . Morgan : " It is with the deepest regret and sense of personal loss that I write to tell you of the ceived in action on November 20th , 1917 . He they ( the women ) were ever disposed to be despondent let them shut their eyes and try to imagine for one second what the husbands , fathers , sons , sweethearts , were doing ; think of the mud , the dug - outs , the night shelling , their constant dangers , toils and risks . Yet hard as the life of the women workers was there were compensations . They had some nice times , they had too , a great pleasure in their love for the animals , for which they had to care . Girls somehow had some sort of maternal instinct which enabled them to man- Mrs. Lyttleton then age the dumb creatures . outlined a scheme , " The Land Workers ' Lib - death of your gallant son - died of wounds re- rary , " which was now being started , whereby books would be procurable from headquarters for circulation . The volumes , would not only be entertaining and suitable as delightful men- tal recreation , but they would be , many of them , of educational value , so that the girls who were ambitious and desirous of adopting Jand culture as a career could procure such books as would help them . She described the methods by which applications being grouped together the required volumes would be deliv- ered to given districts . Besides the library there was being projected a workers magazine , devoted entirely to their interests and their work , to which they themselves might contri- bute , send photos , take part in competitions , and all sorts of things . It would tell them how to make clothes out of old sacks ( loud laughter ) . Mrs. Lyttleton spoke of new won- ders of work , notably forestry cutting , which would be possible under the scheme of the Board of Agriculture , and closed with a per- tations , and their protentiality for good .
