ALCESTER SOLDIERS KILLED

Since the beginning of the Armistice news has been received in Alcester of two local men who have fallen in battle. The first to be reported, and by a sad coincidence on the morning that the news of the signing of the Armistice terms was received, was that of Private George Baylis of the 11th Royal Scots Fusiliers who fell in action on October the 21^st. Baylis, when at home, resided in the Stratford Road, Alcester, and was well known in the town as a keen athlete, and formerly an energetic member of the Alcester football club and the very prominent player.

News that Private Albert Steele (usually known as Jockey) Royal Warwickshire Regiment I've been killed was received with regret by his many friends. He had been in the army nearly two years and had seen much fighting in France. He leaves a widow and one son for whom much sympathy is felt.
