John
Smith
Soldier |
|
John
was one of many whose great achievement was to help
Britain and its allies win the First World War.
Sadly, he paid the ultimate price as a newspaper
report in 1916 tells: "Corporal J. Smith has been
killed in action near Somme in France. He was
educated at the local school and before being called up was
a miner. He was
19 years of age."

Brian
always wanted to run his own business and has now
achieved his aim. As the owner of a local
building firm he tends to be very busy because a lot
of people know and trust him. Of course, Brian
knows he must do a good job or his reputation will
quickly begin to suffer. Brian is very proud
of the fact that his company now creates jobs in the
community where he grew up.
