DUDLEY SOLDIER KILLED IN AN ATTACK.
"HE DIED A HERO'S DEATH."
Corporal A. Aston.
A comrade writing the sad news of the death of Corporal Abraham Aston, of the Worcesters, said he died a hero's death. Corporal Aston fell in action on the 9th of last month. He joined the colours at the beginning of the war, and had seen a good deal of the fighting. He leaves a widow with one child, who live at 1 Oxford Street, Dudley.
Lance Corporal Chater of 'B' Company writes:- "Dear Mrs Aston, It is with the deepest regret that I write to inform you that your beloved husband fell in action on the 9th inst., when attacking a position of the Germans. You will have further details but as I was a pal of Tom's, I thought it my duty to inform you of your great loss. I daresay that it will give you some comfort to know that he died a hero's death, which was instantaneous. It will interest you, in your time of trouble, to know that we took the position. I, as his friend and an old pal, know that he is already missed by the other fellows in his platoon, as he was ever ready to give a helping hand. The fellows, with myself, wish to extend their deepest sympathy to you, and hope that you will try to bear up bravely."
Captain Harris of the 7th Battalion, the Worcestershire Regiment, writes as follows:- "It is with the deepest regret that I have to inform you that your husband, Corporal Aston, was killed on October 9th in an attack on a farm(my note: Adler Farm). Your husband had been with us a long time, and I am sure that we all feel that we have lost a very gallant member of "B" Company. He was not only brave, but always did his work well. Your husband was buried just behind the line along with his comrades who fell with him."
