Turvey church about 1915 [Z1306/128/5/3]
Thursday 29th
July: We regret to state that a sudden death occurred yesterday in the Orderly
Room of C Squadron, Bedfordshire Yeomanry at Turvey, the deceased soldier being
Private Harold Fletcher, a native of Chatteris, Cambridgeshire. Deceased was
chiefly employed as typist in the Orderly Room and had been about his usual
duties during the morning. He was in the act of writing a letter when he fell
from his chair and expired immediately. Deceased having recently been medically
examined and declared unfit for foreign service was about to be transferred to
the Home Defence Squadron. He had been under treatment for heart weakness. The
Coroner thought it unnecessary to hold an Enquiry. Deceased was about 28 years
of age and was engaged to be married, his banns of marriage being published for
the first time in Turvey church on the previous Sunday
