Death of Corporal Carrs

It is with much regret that we record the death of Corporal Carrs, of the Royal Corps of Signals. As reported in the "Gazette" of January 1st, the deceased was taken ill while spending Christmas with Mr and Mrs Cornwell and his fiancee, Miss F. Cornwell, at Western House, Buntingford.

He was removed to Royston Hospital, but his condition gradually became worse, and he passed away on January 28th.

His remains were removed to his home at Mussleburgh, Scotland, by train, and the funeral took place there on the following Saturday. Miss Cornwell, who has since returned to Paris, was present at the funeral.

The deceased was 26 years of age, and much sympathy is extended to his brother and sister, his fiancee and Mr and Mrs Cornwell in their bereavement.

[Transcriber note - In the "Acknowledgment" a week later his surname is spelled "Carss". I've used both spellings in the tags.]
