Home From Burma

Pte. William Hutchinson, fourth son of Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson, of 58, Oak Road, is home on 28 days leave, after having served for 4 years and 10 months with the K.O.Y.L.I. in Burma and India.

He went to the Far East after only two months’ service in the Army, before which he worked underground at Wath Main Colliery.

Since he entered the Forces, Pte. Hutchinson has developed an interest in athletics, particularly running, at which he distinguished himself in his company.

While at home he has celebrated his 26th birthday.
