TWO BROTHERS KILLED Rifleman William Thomson and Private Walter Thomson, brothers, have died of wounds. They both joined the colours on August 28, 1915, William being drafted out to France after eleven weeks of training, and Walter joining him two months later. They fought side by side, and were wounded in the same charge. Walter was 22 years old and William two years older. They lived at 155, York Street, Hulme, but had previously resided at 266, Ordsall Lane, Salford.
