Tom Edmondson
Rifleman Tom Edmondson, King’s Royal Rifle
Corps, only son of Mr and Mrs William E
Edmonson of 10 Taunton Street, Shipley, was
killed on June 27th.
He was 21 years of age and for several years he
took an active interest in the Shipley Church
Lads’ Brigade. His parents have received a
sympathetic letter from the London
headquarters of that organisation.
Letters to hand from two of his comrades
speak of him as a fine soldier and a valued
friend.
Before joining the army on the outbreak of war,
he was employed by Mr John Greenwood,
cabinet maker, Shipley.
