Ralph Collinson
Mrs Collinson, a widow of 7 Claremont, Idle, has received a letter from a
chaplain of the West Yorks Regt, to the effect that her son, Rifleman Ralph
Collinson, was killed in action on 27th March.
He was connected with the Primitive Methodist Sunday School to which
he had rendered valuable service as a teacher and a local preacher, and he
was very well known and highly respected. He was 28 and single.
Mrs Collinson’s only surviving son, Tom, is with the colours at the front.
