Description
DEATH OF A BEBSIDE QUARTERMASTER SERGEANT. Much regret was experienced in Bebside when news of the death of a local Quartermaster-Sergeant was received there. William Donald, who had attained the rank of Quartermaster-Sergeant in the army was a native of Bebside. Some time ago he was sent with his battalion to Plymouth, where he was stationed till the time of his death. This occurred as an attack of pneumonia, a few days ago, much to the sorrow of his mess mates. This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 9th of March 1915. 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 please comment below.
