The Committee of the Roll of Honour for Glassbrook road and Brookfield road, Rushden, have received from the soldiers whose names appear on the Roll many letters of thanks for gifts sent to them by the committee. We append a few extracts:

The coffin, of polished elm with brass fittings, bore the inscription:-

A number of beautiful wreaths were placed on the grave. Mr Arthur Sanders was the undertaker. As the cortege proceeded to the cemetery a number of discharged soldiers stood respectfully to attention. The late Pte Bryant, who was discharged from the Colours in February this year, had been in hospital over twelve months, suffering from dropsy. He joined the Colours in 1916, and put in thirteen months' service in France. Before enlistment he was employed at the Granville Hotel, Wellingborough. A brother, the late Lance-Corpl Arthur Bryant, of the Northants Regiment, was killed in action in April, 1916.
