Welsh Fusilier Wounded
Acting-Sergt. T E Pennington, of the 6th R.W.F., who was billeted with Mr A Ablett in Robinson-road, Rushden, writes that he was wounded in the left leg on August 12th, and was taken to Malta. There he had a severe attack of dysentery and nearly died. We are glad to learn that he is rapidly improving, although still confined to bed. It will be remembered that Sergt. Pennington was a very clever billiard player, and won several handicaps whilst in Rushden.
