LOCAL ROLL OF HONOUR.
The following names appear in the lists:
Killed.
Fox (13442) J., Tipton, K.R.R.C.

Joseph Fox & Ruth Holleran children:
Mary 23/8/1900
Ruth 14/3/1903
Ellen 20/6/1910
George 27/8/1915.
George was born just 12 days before Joseph embarked for France, it would be nice to think that Joseph had a few days pre-embarkation leave to see his son, as it is unlikely he ever had leave during the 7 months he was in France.
