Rushden Echo, 25th October 1918

Casualty List - We are sorry to learn that Mr and Mrs Frederick Sudborough of 27, Milton-street, Higham Ferrers, have heard unofficially that their eldest son, Gunner Harold Sudborough, was killed in action in Frances between October 11^th and 12^th. The grievous news is sent by a soldier of the RFA who states that he buried Gunner Sudborough.

He also returns a copy of the hymn sheet used at the memorial service to the late Reverend Henry Long, which he found upon the deceased’s body.

Private Cecil Adams of Queen-street, Rushden, whom we reported wounded in our last issue, in a letter home says that when he last saw Gunner Sudborough he was lying seriously wounded and unconscious. Private Adams made an attempt to get Gunner Sudborough in, but before he could reach him was himself wounded and compelled to crawl back to cover.

The late Gunner Sudborough was but 19 years of age, and had been in France since last Easter, having joined the colours 12 months ago last August. Up to the time of enlistment he was a sergeant in the Higham Wesleyan Boys Brigade, and as a lad passed through the Wesleyan Sunday School.
