Wonder if there are any other reported examples between the wars of school children going on similar trips? From North Devon Journal, 15 July 1937: Casualty Lance Corporal RICHARDS, GEORGE Service Number 8302 Died 26/11/1914 Aged 24 19th (Queen Alexandra's Own Royal) Hussars Son of G. F. and Mary Richards, of 24, Gloster Rd., Barnstaple. Buried at BOULOGNE EASTERN CEMETERY Cemetery/memorial reference: III. B. 45. Inscription: BUT THOU ART NOT FORGOTTEN NOR EVER WILT THOU BE AS LONG AS LIFE & MEMORY LAST Location: Pas de Calais, France Number of casualties: 5777
I found these two examples but re-reading them although they are different newspapers from different years they appear identical except ones for `Tom` the other for `Frank` ??? I thought it was only the modern press that made stories up! 28 July 1937 - Lancashire Evening Post - Preston, Lancashire, England 29 August 1936 - Wiltshire Times and Trowbridge Advertiser - Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England Kyle
