Mexborough and Swinton Times, September 16, 1916

Signaller George Neath
(K.O.Y.L.I.)

was wounded on August 2, and is now in hospital in Sheffield.

Previous to enlistment was employed at Bullcroft Colliery. Writing home he says:

“eight of us were taking a cart with signalling apparatus, which we were pulling along. I was in the shaft and Fritz sent us a souvenir in the form of a shell. Two others were wounded, I myself receiving several wounds in the thighs. We were lucky and I hope soon to be all right again.”

Signaller Neath is a son of the coal merchant of Mexborough and is connected with the Oxford Road, Wesleyan Reform Church.
