His
commanding officer, Lieut-Col C.E.F.Copeman, in a letter to the
Cambridge Chronicle said "Corporal Dewey was shot through the
lungs as he was getting into a trench, and died a few hours afterwards.
He was most plucky and never once complained, his only regret being
that he could not get at the Germans", and in a letter to Mrs
Dewey he wrote "his platoon commander tells me he was the best
n.c.o. that he had, and I know that he was one of the most useful
men in the battalion".
He

well known Cambridge athlete, a member of the town and county cycling
club, and earned a great reputation as a trainer. |

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.
