DEATH OF A TIPTON SOLDIER
Private Dan Jeavons, of the Worcesters, whose parents reside at Boat Row, Tipton, died on Monday last at a Manchester hospital, from wounds received in recent fighting. His father received a telegram to say he was wounded in both legs. Blood poisoning rapidly set in, and death resulted. Deceased was about 26 years of age.
A few days ago, Mr S Holloway, of Waterloo Street East, Tipton, received the following letter from the deceased soldier which, in view of his death, will be read with particular interest:-
"May 9th, Just a line to let you know I received your letter, and to thank you and my mates for the fags and chocolate, which I received quite safely. I am pleased to tell you I am still alive, and in good health and excellent spirits. The weather is improving every day, and at the time of writing it is beautiful. The Germans are getting up to some nice tricks with their gas, although up to the present I have not had any personal experience of it. They tried to blow us up by exploding a mine the other day, but they must have calculated the distance wrongly, as it was just in front of our trenches rather than under it, and although we had a few casualties I think they did more harm to themselves than to us. The earth was thrown sky-high in lumps as big as a cart, whilst you could have put a couple of houses in the hole quite easily afterwards. Talk about an earthquake! I am pleased you noticed about the old Worcesters; they will hear more about them yet, and the Bosches will have cause to remember them. I have not seen Joe Perry yet, but of course he may not be in our district. Please remember me to Mr Cooper and Mr Wheeler, and to all at the works, and tell them I send my good wishes. I cannot tell you when this war will end. I wish I could as I have had a decent spell out here, but still I think that with a bit of luck I shall be able to see it out. I saw the start so I should like to see the finish. There are some fine canals in this neighbourhood and I have managed to have a swim. I have been reading about the people going on strike, and I think if their homes were knocked about like some of them out here, they would be willing to work for nothing if by doing so they could help to bring this war to a conclusion. I know everyone has a grievance, but I think they may let them stand over for a while."
Pte. Jeavons, as a youth, worked at the foundry of Messrs J & J Whitehouse, Castle Street, Tipton, and joined the Worcesters seven years ago. He had been stationed out in India, and on leaving on furlough preparatory to going into the Reserve, he worked for a month at his old works. When the war broke out he was immediately mobilised.

Editorial
THE CROWDS AT MILITARY FUNERALS.
A military funeral in Tipton is such a novelty that the huge crowd of people that assembles is detrimental to the good order and decorum associated with the sacredness of a burial ground. On Sunday last, the scene at the cemetery witnessed a fortnight earlier (for Pte Samuel Bellingham), was repeated to an even greater extent. A swarm of people, variously estimated at from three to four thousand, waited outside the cemetery gates for the approach of the procession from Tipton Green, which itself numbered fully three thousand persons including the recognised bodies of band, military, Volunteer Training Corps, Scouts and workmen.
The gates were opened by the superintendent to let the procession pass through, and he closed them after it had passed. The immense concourse of people who had gathered, felt they had the right to see the final obsequies - the firing of the rifles and the bugle notes of "The Last Post" are more interesting than the ceremony at an ordinary internment - and so scores of people pushed at the somewhat fragile gates at the entrance, a tiny chain snapped, and they burst forward. The crowd broke through - many scores of persons were already clambering over the low wall surrounding the cemetery and at least a thousand persons gained the cemetery ground to add to the throng already assembled. In such a large assembly of humanity, in its anxiety to get near the grave, one can easily understand that there were many people who ran in the most ruthless manner over the graves, trampling flowers and other decorations underfoot. The police at the gates, numbering in all about eight, were quite powerless to keep the crowds back.
There can be no doubt that the general custom pertaining elsewhere, when a very large crowd assembles at the cemetery entrance, is to deny them admittance. This can only be done by erecting strong gates, and by taking such other precautions as will suggest themselves to the Burial Board. There can be no doubt that the greatest reverence was shown by the great crowds of people outside and inside Park Lane Wesleyan Chapel, in Owen Street, and on the way to the cemetery. Such an immense crowd of people has not been seen in Tipton Green on any previous occasion.
