Two of our men, Frank Hodkinson a consistent member of St Mary's and William Coulson have fallen in France. A Memorial Service to the former was held at St Mary's on Sepember 19th and the Church was full, a fact which testifies to the high esteem in which he was held.
(Can anyone help with information about William Coulson? His name does not appear on any of the Parish Memorials.)
