MET IN HOSPITAL

Two Knottingley cousins have met in hospital in North Africa. They are Sapper Adino Tunningley of the Airborne Troops and Lance Corporal David Tucker of the Irish Guards.

Mrs. Tunningley of Racca Green, Knottingley, has received a letter from her son who has been abroad for nearly a year saying that he received burns while trying to put out a fire and that Lance Corporal Tucker whose home is at Primrose Hill, Knottingley, had not been well but was improving. They talked about old times and Lance Corporal Tucker said he was longing to get home to see his young son who was born after he went abroad six months ago.

He was with Messrs Brown and Lodge builders of Pontefract before joining the Forces three years ago and Lance Corporal Tucker was at the glassworks of Messrs Bagley and Co. Knottingley.
