"ASHBY OFFICER KILLED

The sad news has reached Ashby that Lieut. S. A. Meakin, of the 1st North Staffordshire Regiment, has been killed in action in France. Lieut. Meakin was the youngest son of Mrs Meakin residing at “Weeford,” Leicester Road, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, with whom the deepest sympathy is being felt and expressed. The bereaved lady has two other sons in the service, and her son-in-law, Lieut-Commander Humphrey Willie-Best is serving in the Navy on H.M.S. Superb."
