MAJOR CYRIL SLADDEN BACK  ON DUTY

We are glad to learn that the wound which Major Cyril E. Sladden, of the Worcestershire Regt., son of Mr Julius Sladden, of Badsey, received on March 10, the day before Baghdad fell, was only slight. Major Sladden was in hospital for a short time, but is now back on duty. This is the third time Major Sladden has been wounded in the present war, the first time being in Galilipoli, and the second time in the abortive operations  to relieve Kut.

ANOTHER BADSEY MAN KILLED

BADSEY SCHOOLMASTER WOUNDED

Sergeant Amos, for some time headmaster of Badsey Council School, was severely wounded on July 3, and is now an inmate of Leicester Hospital, where he is progressing slowly. Mr Amos married Miss McDonald, of Badsey, and she is now at Leicester with her husband. Mrs Amos’s brother was also wounded in the same charge. It is a somewhat curious coincidence that Sergeant Amos should have been taken to Leicester, of which town he is a native and which he has not visited for a quarter of a century.
