“SLIGHTY WOUNDED AND DOING WELL.”
Private John Cochrane, who resides at 7 Cherryfield Lane, takes a very light view of his wounds. The only intimation that he has sent home is in the form of a field postcard, stating that he has been admitted to hospital slightly wounded, and is progressing well.
Private Cochrane, who is married, was previously employed in Ashton Works. He was a member of A Company.
