The sad news has been received by Sergeant Gould, Ystalyfera Hotel, of the death in France of Private Joseph Marshall (late of Ystalyfera). The night before his death deceased was quite cheerful and jovial, being of a happy disposition but during the early hours of the morning passed away, his death being due to the severe weather experienced at the front. Private Marshall was very popular locally, especially amongst the members of the R.A.O.B. lodges, where his company will be greatly missed.
