In The Navy Now
Able Seaman Jas. Thomas Marson, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Marson, of 9, Welfare Avenue, Conanby, joined the Navy in December last year, and does not dislike his new life. He was recently home on leave, but his present whereabouts are not known beyond the fact that he is in foreign waters.
On leaving school he started work underground at Cadeby Colliery, but later obtained a post on the staff of the Amalgamated Denaby Collieries, where he continued up to joining the Navy.
