If this little chap doesn't learn how to fly soon and get off my fence, he will become the cat's breakfast!

This is my Great-Grandad, Edward and his son Ted. Ted was killed in the trenches at the age of 17. This is how the newspaper reported his death - One of the first Leeds Rifles to fall in action is Rifleman E. J. Pearce of the 7th West Yorkshire Regiment, who was killed in action in France on May 7. His home was at 13 Canvas Street, Holbeck, and he enlisted in October last having been previously employed at Mesars Tetley's Brewery. He was only 17 years of age although for the purpose of enlistment he had declared himself to be 19. In a letter conveying the sad news to the soldier's parents, Lieutenant E. W. May writes "Please allow me to express to you my deepest sympathy, as well as that of all the other officers of the company, at this most unfortunate occurrence. He was an exceptionally good lad. He always did his best and took a great interest in all his work, and I should indeed be proud if the whole of the men whom I have the honour to command were as good and true soldiers as your son. It happened while on sentry duty in the trenches about six o'clock this morning. He had been firing a few sniping shots when a return German bullet caught him in the head and death was instantaneous. The French are now planning to move the war graves, Ted's included, to build a M-Way - http://www.yorkshiretoday.co.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=55&ArticleID=1861276
