Richard Harold's Story.

Birkenhead News   10 November 1917

RAILWAY EMPLOYEE KILLED.

News has been received by Mrs. Crutchlow, of 284 Laird Street, to the effect that Private R. H. Crutchlow was killed in action on October 13th. He joined the 3rd Cheshires early in the war, and was transferred to the Royal Warwickshires. Pte. R. H. Crutchlow was educated at Laird Street Council School, and worked on the Wirral Railway from the age of 14 to the time he joined up. This young soldier will be very greatly missed by his father, mother, brothers and sister, and a large circle of friends. He was of a most cheerful disposition, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him.

Note: The newspaper article refers to the soldier as Private Crutchlow, however, his correct last name is Critchlow.
