We are asked by a distressed mother, Mrs Bamford of Jessop Street, Waingroves, to appeal for 
information of her son, 3902 Pte .H. Bamford, a bomber, of the 5th Sherwood's, who last wrote 
home in June, and who was posted in July by the war office to be missing. Bamford enlisted in 
March 1915, and had been in France about eight months. Another elder brother, named Ernest 
Bamford is also with the colours, and has been in France over a year. Both brothers were in the 
same battle, but Ernest was wounded, and has just recovered and gone back into training at Ripon.
