BADSEY - PRETTY WEDDING

ENGINEERS LEAVE EVESHAM

Yesterday (Friday) the members of the Northern Wireless Section, Royal Engineers; who for five weeks have been billeted at Evesham, left the town for a destination which has not been divulged but which can be guessed. During their stay at Evesham the men have behaved in an exemplary manner and have made many friends, by whom their future career will be watched with interest. The men themselves are very keen on getting across the water as soon as possible, and it is highly probable that their ambition will be realised.

RAILWAY TRAINS CANCELLED

Several of the railway companies are restricting their services, no doubt because engines and rolling stock are required for military purposes.

BADSEY AND BELGIAN REFUGEES

Messrs Harvey Hunt Ltd had quite a nice lot of vegetables etc to sell for the Soldier’s Tobacco and Cigarette Fund at their market in the High Street, Evesham.

• Eggs from Mr W. Hartwell of Badsey.
• Marrows and tomatoes from Mr Geoffrey Jones of Badsey.
• Cauliflowers and marrows from Mr A. E. Jones of Badsey.

THE SONG OF THE TRENCH

MEETING OF EVESHAM RDC

The Chairman of the Worcestershire Territorial Forces Association forwarded Sir Richard Temple’s letter appealing for recruits for the Volunteer Training Corps.

The Chairman said just now the men were engaged all their time on the land, and had no time for training, and if they tried to persuade all they could to join that might meet the case.

Mr Binyon said they had quite a strong company at Badsey.

WOMEN AND FARM WORK

A NEW APPEAL ON BEHALF OF THE LAND ARMY

A WORD TO THE FARMERS

POEM ABOUT WOMEN LABOUR

What would happen in Worcestershire in the future:

The corn crops of the county this year school girls shall reap,

This year the Malvern maidens will dip the scabby sheep.

And in the Vale of Evesham the fruit be gathered in

By the hands of loving lasses whose lads march to Berlin.
