Harold's Story.

Another ‘Pal’ Killed.

A Port Sunlight Employee.

Mr. and Mrs. T. Edwards, of 21, Beaconsfield Road, have heard officially that their eldest son, Private H. Edwards, of the 2nd Battalion of the “Pals,” has been killed in action. He enlisted at the beginning of the war, and had been at the front for eight months. The young man – he was only 20 – was employed in the draughtsman’s office at Messrs. Lever Bros and Co., and had many friends there who would deplore his death.
