MONS HERO AT MEASHAM
Sapper Tom Jerrams, of the 59th Field Company of the Royal Engineers, has been invalided home to Measham. He took part in the battle of Mons and in the great retreat towards Paris; also in the advance towards Arras. On arriving at La Bassee he was sent to the base hospital and then to Edinburgh. He speaks in high terms of the treatment while in hospital in Edinburgh; also of the efforts of commissariat at the front in providing for the welfare of the troops. He hopes to return to the firing line after a few weeks’ rest.
