LEEDS RESERVIST'S FUNERAL
The funeral took place at Burmantofts Cemetery, Leeds, yesterday afternoon, of Private Herbert HARTLEY, of the West Yorkshire Regiment, who had died, under painful circumstances, at "Spanish City." Whitley Bay. Hartley, who was a Reservist, and wore the South African medal, belonged to Leeds, and resided in Lady Pit Lane with his wife and four children. Until he was called up he had been employed at Messrs. Lawson's Foundry in Mabgate, and had many friends in Leeds.
Only a week ago he was in Leeds, on leave, and on his return to camp was taken suddenly ill on parade. He was taken to the Newcastle Infirmary, where he died. When the body was entrained for Leeds he was awarded military honours, two hundred of his colleagues being in attendance at the railway station. As the train steamed out the "Last Post" was sounded.
