Darfielders Meet Overseas

Bombardier Harry Thomas Beilby (26), is the son of Mrs. Beilby and the late Mr. Beilby of Nanny Marr, Darfield. His father died while he was in Italy.

He joined the R.A. at the outbreak of war, and three years ago went to the Middle East. He moved into Italy just after Christmas.

A holder of the Africa Star, he formally attended Darfield Church School and worked for some years at Houghton Main Colliery. He has met Jack Pugsley, of Darfield while abroad.
