Extract from Cambridge Independent Press - Friday 7 July 1916, page 4: Death of Pte. L, C. Sparks. Pte. L. C. Sparks. A.S.C., of 37, Abbey-walk, died in Netley Hospital on Wednesday last from wounds received while at the front. On the previous Friday Mrs. Sparks received a letter from her husband's officer stating that he was wounded in the head by a fragment of a shell dropped from a hostile aeroplane while engaged in carrying ammunition to the artillery. On Monday evening a telegram arrived from Netley Hospital stating that Pte. Sparks was lying seriously wounded by gunshot in the head, and on Tuesday a letter was received from the A.S.C. Depot at Woolwich (written evidently before the telegram) stating that Pte. Sparks was lying at the base hospital suffering from a fractured skull, resulting from an accident. Mrs. Sparkes went to Netley on Tuesday, and arrived at 3.30, but sadly enough her husband had died half an hour before. Before joining the colours, about six weeks ago, Mr. Sparks was a chauffeur employed by Dr. Naish. He was well known in the town, and was a keen member of the Beaconsfield Club, and was once a member the committee. The funeral, which will be a military one, will take place to-morrow (Saturday) at 2.30 at Mill-road Cemetery. |
