Thomas's Story.

Death of Sapper T. Parry.

The Parish Magazine contains the following: “it is with the greatest regret we have to announce the loss of another parishioner, namely Sapper Tom Parry, Royal Engineers, who received serious shell wounds on January 3rd, and died from the effects of the same on the following day. Tom parry was 28 years of age and had been on active service in France since January 1917. We offer our deepest sympathy to his wife and parents in their great sorrow.”
