...."Exactly twelve months ago, three young men belonging to the village of Ettington, near Stratford-on-Avon, joined the Warwickshire Imperial Yeomanry and sailed for South Africa. Their names were William George Bailey, Edgar Frost, and Robert Ashby. The sons of well-to-do parents, they were in comfortable circumstances, and from motives of patriotism they resolved to go to the front, being the only young men from the village who volunteered. Monday's casualty-list announced the death of Bailey in Bloemfontein Hospital, from enteric; quite recently Frost died from the same disease, and at the present time Ashby is receiving hospital treatment, and his illness is causing anxiety to his friends."
