BADSEY MAN MISSING
Mrs W Keen, who lives in Northwick Road, Evesham, has received information that her husband Private W Keen, was missing on March 21. Private Keen joined the Worcester Regiment on November 16 1915, and went out to France on January 16. Before joining the colours he lived at Badsey, and assisted his father, Mr W Keen, market gardener.
MOUSTACHES
Nowadays it is regarded as quite the correct thing for soldiers to wear moustaches; some of the Evesham Territorials, who were clean shaven before the war, have been sedulously cultivating moustaches since they have been in training.
It may not be generally known that it is claimed that the old Worcestershire Militia introduced the moustache into the British Army.

A HEARTY “SEND-OFF”
On Monday morning a large batch of recruits for the 8th Reserve Battalion of the Worcestershire Regiment went off from Evesham. They numbered 64 men, and with them were Capt. Cliff and Lieut. Warner. Col.-Sergt. Gardiner was in charge of the men.

BADSEY’S EXAMPLE
The village of Badsey has so far done fairly well. Up to Tuesday night some £1,556 had been invested through the Local War Savings Association, and to that another £310 was added on Thursday. In addition some £4000 from the village has gone through the banks so that a Souvenir Shell is certain to go to Badsey. Mr Sladden is, however, not satisfied and he wants a sufficiently large investment to secure the largest shell. This may come along yet.
BADSEY - PRETTY WEDDING
A BROKEN LEG
On Tuesday a youth named Frank Sparrow, of Badsey, was admitted to Evesham Cottage Hospital suffering from a broken leg. He was playing football on the Vicarage field, when he was accidentally kicked. He was attended by Dr Harthan, and is making quite good progress.
