| Notes | Cleator Parish Magazine July 1916 - a note from the Vicar Rev Ceasar Caine "Dear Gawn we shall never see you again He has done his highest best and yielded up his life on the field of battle. When he first came to Cleator he was a weakly lad .....afterwards he was one of our best Guild workers his brother Jim and sister Sarah also taking part .... I wrote and told him to make his home at the Vicarage as soon as he had a chance he wrote and said he was delighted and would now live to see Cleator again .But things are otherwise ....... the letter states he died of wounds .... So we add his name to the other two .... the honour and glory of our village .......... .Joseph McVittie and John Hannah |
