After the wedding the party made their way to Thursden Cottage, Briercliffe, where the bride lives with her sister, Mrs. Wilkinson, whose husband is serving with the colours. Pte. R. C.

Mrs. Wilkinson (the bride's sister) was the bridesmaid. Pte. R. C. Houghton's grandfather (74 years old) was the best man. The bridegroom has been on active service three years. He was slightly wounded in a bayonet charge at the Dardanelles, and has suffered from shell shock. |
