Tipton Herald May 13th 1916
YOUNG TIPTON SOLDIER FATALLY GASSED.
Mr and Mrs George William Tate, of 21 Chapel Street, Tipton, have received a letter from a nursing sister at one of the Casualty Clearing Stations in France, informing them that their youngest son, Private Edward Dan Tate, of the 13th Middlesex, has died from gas poisoning. He was taken to the hospital on Sunday, April 30th, and passed away on Monday afternoon, May 1st. He was slightly conscious, and when the sister told him that she would write to his parents, he sent his love. He was buried in a part of the cemetery reserved for our brave troops, a little wooden cross marking each spot. The sister enclosed in her letter to the mother, a lock of her son's hair. The deceased young soldier had been slightly gassed before, and he had been told that it would soon be his time for a furlough.
The brave young lad worked as a blacksmith at Messrs. Bullers Ltd. prior to the war. He enlisted on February 22nd 1915, and landed in France on September 2nd. He was only 19 years of age in September last. An elder brother is serving in Egypt.
Singular to say, the mother of the young soldier has two brothers serving in the present war, one in Egypt and one in France. Her eldest daughter's husband was wounded at the front, in the ankle, and had frostbitten feet, and he has been sent home to work at Bullers Ltd. They also reside in Chapel Street, and the husband (Private Smith) has four brothers serving in the forces
