From
a Local Paper
PTE
A BRIGGINSHAW
The
telegraphic information to his friends that Pte. A. Brigginshaw,
of 65, High-street South, Dunstable, had been seriously wounded,
was succeeded on Monday night by the news that the gallant soldier
was no more. He sustained a compound fracture of the skull, but
Mrs. Brigginshaw having a letter from the clearing hospital that
her husband had regained conciousness and sent a cheerful message
naturally hoped for the best. Prior to going into training in the
Notts and Derby Regiment, the late Pte. Brigginshaw worked on his
father's farm at Caddington, where he resided for some ten years.
His Regimental depot was at Lichfield, and he trained at Chesterfield
and several other towns in the North. When eventually sent to France
he contracted severe bronchial and other troubles, necessitating
long hospital treatment both there and in England. Bedfore proceeding
to France for the second time he was in Dunstable on leave. He had
not been married very long. His age was about 37, and he was well
known in the district. |
