Patriotic Family
This week we publish photographs of the soldier sons of Mr and Mrs G. Mellor, of 51 Maltby Street, Denaby main.
Lance bombardier George Mellor (who is married) has been serving nearly 2 years, and is now in the Middle East.
He received an injury en route, and was operated on. The last his parents heard of him, he was rejoining his unit after convalescence. He was previous employed at Cadeby colliery.
Gunner Tom Mellor was employed on the screens at Denaby Colliery, where he was very popular. His workmates will be pleased to know that he is well. He has been with the forces since March of this year.
Their younger brother Joseph Mellor is a member of the local Home Guard, and their mother has now volunteered for war work, so the family are really trying to do their bit.
