A “Ten-Years’ Soldier”

Sergt. J. T. Wilson, son of Mrs. F. T. Wilson, 122, Main Street, Goldthorpe, has been In the Army for ten years, and was called up three weeks before war broke out.

He is now a Commando, which, he says is very exciting and he gets a kick out of it.

He was in one of the Norway raids and got back safely.
