Wood - Bosworth
Rushden Prisoner of War - Married Lady 'Adopter' - A Romantic Episode
A romantic episode which gleams like a ray of sunshine amid the tragic shadows surrounding so many of our prisoners of war culminated at Northampton Unitarian Church on Wednesday - says the "Northampton Independent" – when Corporal Walter Wood (1st Northamptons), of Rushden captured wounded in the retreat from Mons, was married to Miss Amy Bosworth, 77 Ethel-street, Northampton, manageress of Messrs. Church and Roberts, Ethel-street, Northampton. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev. Wm C Hall, M.A., and the bride, who was charmingly attired was given away by Mr F O Roberts, J.P., a friend of the family, the best man being Mr A Adock, her old Sunday school teacher.
Until a few days ago, bride and bridegroom had not met, but they came to correspond with one another through the medium of the "Independent" appeal for adopters for food parcels for prisoners. The girls employed at Messrs. Church and Roberts were the first to respond, through Miss Bosworth, and Corpl Wood was one of those whom they provided money for parcels. He wrote acknowledgements regularly, and took the earliest opportunity on his return to call at the factory to address the girls, who are naturally highly pleased at the happy sequel and have presented the couple with a beautiful tea service.
