We regret to report that Mr and Mrs Green of Leicester Road, Ibstock, have received news that their son, Lester, has been killed in the recent fighting on the Western Front. Lester was a former sergeant-instructor in the Ibstock Church Lads’ Brigade and joined the King’s Royal Rifles on the outbreak of war, and attained the rank of sergeant. He was a smart young officer, and very popular among his friends at home.
