Report from the Hunts
Post:
SORROW
AT HEMINGFORD
PTE
GEORGE FAVELL, son of Mrs. Wm. Favell, of Hemingford Grey, has
met a soldier's death on the field of war. He joined the Suffolks
at the start of hostilities when he was only 16½ years of
age. He was invalided home about a year ago with shell shock and
loss of speech from which he recovered in three or four months,
and was again sent out. The sad news came on Saturday last from
the War Office that he was killed on the 10th May. The sympathy
of everyone who knew him is with his mother (a widow) and family.
A memorial service was held on Tuesday evening the Church being
nearly full. Afterwards a dumb peal was rung by ringers from both
villages.
