Mrs. Bentley, London Road, Nantwich, has been informed by a comrade that her husband, Private Jos. Bentley R.W.F. has been killed during an attack on September 18. Private Bentley who was the son of Mr. John Bentley, of London Road, Nantwich has seen considerable service at the front. Before joining the army, he was employed by Mr. Oakes, baker of Nantwich and previously he was five years in the Navy. His comrade in his letter to Mrs. Bentley said he would be greatly missed. He was the cheeriest of friends, and the life and soul of his platoon.
