Mr. and Mrs. George Allison Street Head Farm, Startforth, have received from the War Office the sad intelligence of the accidental death of their youngest son, Pte. Thomas Wilfred Allison, while on active service. Before the war Pte. Allison worked on his father's farm, being a familiar figure in the daily milk delivery.
