 Laying the wreaths


This year a special mention was given to Private Fred Binns, an Oakworth son whose name does not appear on our War Memorial, because he died in Leeds Military Hospital from a lung ailment (possibly pneumonia) whilst on leave convalescing from shrapnel wounds received. He is buried in the grounds of Christ Church, Oakworth.
