ONE KILLED - ANOTHER DIES OF WOUNDS.
IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL.
News was received from the War Office on Monday by the parents of Corporal Harry Peers, of the East Lancashire regiment, that their son had been killed in the trenches in France. Later a letter was received from his officer stating that his death was a great loss to the company, as he was one of the best marksman and a keen worker.
Corporal Peers had served in the Army for many years, he having joined when he was 17 years of age. He was well known and respected in Heswall, where his parents have resided all their lives.
