Any other info
Newspaper Records
An article appeared in the Express & Star on 26 January 1916, stating that Mrs Betts, of 19 Woden Road, Heath Town, was “greatly concerned as to the whereabouts or fate of her son”. He had been reported as wounded & missing on 20 September 1914, and all inquiries had proved fruitless. Unfortunately, he was later confirmed to have been killed in action on that date.
