FROM THE CONTEMPORARY LOCAL NEWSPAPERS OF NORTH BUCKS (BUCKS STANDARD, NORTH BUCKS TIMES, WOLVERTON EXPRESS)
With today’s internet a wealth of official information is available regarding those who served.
In an age before local radio and television, families often allowed letters to be published in the local press from their loved ones on active service.
However, for their descendants the letters reveal a more personal aspect, graphically describing the experience of the people and providing an insight into their personalities.

W.E. 1914 Sep. 25th

The last official news of Lieutenant C. Bass, of the 3rd Lancs. Fusiliers, attached to the 2nd Bucks Battalion, was on September 3rd, when the War Office reported him wounded. However, the wife of a captain who was wounded at the same time, and who is in the same regiment, has heard from her husband that Lieutenant Bass, who is the son of Mrs. Charles Bass, of Steeple Claydon Vicarage, is a prisoner of war in hospital at Brunswick.
