WALKER SOLDIER'S SAD DEATH. Private John Davidson, of Walker died in No. 4 Military Hospital, Lincoln, on Sunday night, and was interred at Walker yesterday afternoon. He was 26 years of age, and was a boilersmith at Armstrong Mitchell and Co.'s works.

He was going to the front, when illness carried him off. He was married only four months ago. (Photo: Border Studios, Heaton). This photograph and article were published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 16th of October 1914. During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past. The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.
