DEATH OF PRIVATE A T. LANGMAID

A large number of Bexhill people will be grieved to hear of the death of Private A T. Langmaid, of the 11th Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment. He received his fatal wound, we understand, while building up the parapet of the trench, being shot in the hip, on Friday night, the 12th inst. He was buried in a French Cemetery on Saturday morning. The news was received by his parents in a letter from a friend, who was serving in the same regiment as the deceased soldier, on Monday. Private Langmaid had his last leave on April 13th. He had only been out three weeks.

He was a promising soloist, being a member of the Bexhill Musical Society, and occupied the position of secretary of the Sackville Rd., Wesleyan Sunday School, where he worked with great devotion. He was also a leading member of the choir, and many will remember his well-rendered solos on special occasions in the Church. He took a prominent part in the work of the young men's class connected with the Church, and other associations of the Sackville Road Church. While be was in training at Northampton and elsewhere he often entertained the men at concerts and other functions with his singing. At each of the towns where he was stationed he made a number of friends, by whom the news of his untimely death will be a great matter of regret.

With Mr. and Mrs. A. Langmaid, his parents, who reside in Cornwall Road, deep sympatby will be felt.

Extract from Bexhill on Sea Chronicle 13 January 1917:

The news of the death of Bexhill’s chief electrical engineer, Lieut. Le Feuvre, was received in the town on Tuesday, when the Mayor [Alderman J.B. Wall] had a telegram containing the information that the Lieutenant had passed away at Bangor, North Wales, on Monday last, at the age of 42 years. All who knew him will regret his untimely end, which was from an attack of pneumonia. Mr Le Feuvre came to Bexhill in 1899, and was engaged as engineer and clerk at the electric light works under Messrs Preece and Cardew. In 1900 he was appointed chief engineer by the Urban District Council, and in 1902 he was reappointed by the Borough Council, which was then just formed. Soldiering was not new to him as he had served for eight or nine years as a private in the Queen’s Westminsters. He at the commencement of the war was a Lieutenant in the Bexhill engineers. In June 1915, he left for France, but returned in September with a shattered ankle which rendered him permanently lame. He leaves a widow and two children, who are at the present time in Jersey. During the absence of Lieutenant Le Feuvre, Mr. C. A. Frost has been acting as chief electrical engineer and he was one of the first to receive the sad news of Lieutenant Le Feuvre’s decease.
