Information has been received by Mr. J. Thomas, of the Amman Stores, High Street, Ammanford, of the death, killed in action, on the 26 th September, of Private Geo Gowring, who had been for six years in his employ.

The gallant lad joined the 9 th Welsh, but was afterwards transferred to the
3 rd , and then the 2 nd Battalion, going out to France with the latter.

He was an adherent of Christian Temple, and was very well known, through serving in the shop and soliciting orders. Before coming to Ammanford he was in Mellor's Orphanage School, Bristol, and has a sister living in Ashley Down, Bristol.

Mr. J. Thomas has had five other of his employees enlisted, one Clement Banks, who joined in Bristol the Gloucester Regiment. Another is Sidney Hicks, who left Ammanford to go to Canada, where he joined the Canadian contingent and came over. He has been wounded in the left arm, but is now again at the Front. John Jones, a haulier with Mr. Thomas when the war broke out, joined at Ammanford in August, 1914; Albert Richards, of Barry (who was at Liptons' when he joined), and Heatherage, a haulier, now in the 6th Welsh.
