KNOTTINGLEY BROTHERS MEET

L/Cpl Horace Scholes, R.A.S.C., whose home is at 24 Broomhill Square Knottingley, has written to his wife from Italy saying he recently met, in Italy, his brother Private Edward Scholes, C.M.P. who lives at 30 Broomhill Walk.

Horace went into the forces in 1942 and has not been home since December 1942.  Edward went abroad in November 1943. As Edward knew the whereabouts of Horace he called to see him when he was stationed near him and gave him a pleasant surprise. They had supper together and enjoyed a good talk about good old Knottingley. They are now 90 miles from each other.
