"In Memoriam
Pte. William Young, Gloucester Regt. Now reported killed at the Front.
The agony of the world continues to seek us out. Official notification has been received that the Army Council, from lack of any further news, has been regretfully constrained to conclude that William Young, 11 Eversley Place, who was posted as "missing" on June 21st last, either on, or since, that date. He was a particularly winsome and gifted lad, and just entering upon a useful career in the service of the Church and Sunday School. When the call to military service was sounded for all such as he, his response was prompt and wholehearted. Though he would very willingly have lived for the high things and above all, to spare his parents and brothers the pain of his early going, yet there is no doubt his last hour was both his most competent and his happiest. At that supreme moment he was the Happy Warrior 'Attired with a sudden brightness like a man inspired,' and so we will remember him. Such a life, blameless and staunch, beautiful in its conception of duty, and ever true to the Highest, has not been lived in vain."
William Young is remembered in Heaton on H91.24 H91.25, and in Newcastle on NUT070 and NUT126
