Denaby Soldiers Misfortune
Private Oliver Keith, Denaby Main, 2nd Yorks & Lancs
The photo is of Private Oliver Keith, 2nd Battalion, Yorks & Lancs, of 39 Barnburgh Street, Denaby, who at the commencement of the war was a reservist, and in consequence his services were immediately requisitioned.
He entered the trenches last October and has been exceptionally lucky inasmuch as he has never sustained a wound of any description, although he has been in some very rough fighting.
Sad news awaits his return, since unfortunately two of his young family have died from illness since he left home.
