Charles Leslie's Story.

Birkenhead News  19 August 1916

Mr. and Mrs. J. Bibby Bereaved.

Son Dies of Wounds.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bibby, The Priory, Bidston, have received the regrettable news that their son, C. Leslie Bibby, a private in the “Pals,” has died of wounds at Abbeville, France. He had been previously wounded and had rejoined his regiment before the recent push – in which he was wounded – commenced.

He and his younger brother, now lying wounded at Southmead, Bristol, were among the first to join the “Pals,” and along with an older brother, Mr. J. Morton Bibby, a director of J. Bibby and Sons Ltd., also wounded – they all went out to France together as machine gunners in November last year.
