    http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/features/Looking-for- Laurie.6141348.jp Letters from the frontline: The mystery of missing Leeds soldier View Gallery Published Date: 11 March 2010 By Neil Hudson In 1943, a young soldier from Leeds was passing through a small Italian town. He was carrying letters from home. Somehow, he became separated from them. Now those letters have come to light and the hunt is on to discover what happened to their owner. Neil Hudson takes up the story. At some point in 1943, Laurie Armitage, a teenage soldier from Leeds, passed through the Italian town of Rocca San Giovanni, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. He carried a cache of personal letters which he had kept with him following his passage from North Africa. Despite fastidiously holding on to the bundle of letters through numerous battlefields, somehow, in the closing days of that year, he became separated from them. Miraculously, the wad of letters was found some 45 years ago, in 1964, by a 13-year- old Italian boy who had gone to the edge of his village to play a game of football. As he stared at his find, partially buried in the ground, he could only guess at the strange addresses, their curious numbers and initials but the word 'African' made him understand he had discovered something important. The letters belonged to Rifleman L A Armitage, of the London Irish Rifles, who was 19 years old in 1943. He was known as Laurie to family and friends and Lawrence to those who asked about him to his mother.

  • Women, Winning and Cameron's Tories
    Jobs Motors Property Directory Announcements Search Sign In NEWS YOUR SAY CITY BUZZ NOSTALGIA GIVING BACK LEEDS RECOMMENDS SIX OF THE BESTMORE Women, winning and Cameron's Tories Published: 14:40 Friday 16 December 2005 Being opposed to political correctness, i am disgusted that David Cameron has embraced it within weeks of taking over as leader of the Tory party. His proposals for an A-list of candidates comprising 50 per cent of women and a good quantity of ethnic minorities is ridiculous and should be opposed by local associations, we do not want central office meddling with local decisions. The conservative party selected, elected and supported the first female leader, who of course became the longest serving 20th century prime minister – what further proof is needed that the mechanisms are already in place for good women and ethnic minority candidates PROVIDING they are the best. Positive discrimination does not work and should be avoided. If these proposals are put in place to reduce white, middle class men, as parliamentary candidates, may I suggest the Witney Conservative association take a lead and ditch their current MP in preference to one off the A-List and do us all a favour. Andrew Wilkinson, Cardigan Road, Headingley, Leeds As a Conservative Party member, I am excited that David Cameron chose Leeds to give his first major speech, telling us that he has identified, and intends to solve, a fundamental failing of the Party. Up to now, Parliamentary Candidate selection has been in the hands of the few members of local Conservative Associations who bother to turn up and they (with some creditable exceptions) know what they want– a candidate who is middle-class, middle-aged, white and male.

  • YORKSHIRE EVENING POST 1890 to 1900
    YORKSHIRE EVENING POST 1890 to 1900 1 3 December 1890 An inquest was held yesterday on the body of Sarah Jackson, 37, the wife of a canal boatman. Deceased had only arrived in Salford with her husband, when she went ashore with him. On returning to the flat some little time before him, the deceased, it is believed, missed her footing in the darkness and fell into the canal at Oldfield Road. Search was made for the body, which was found near the shore side. A verdict of “Found drowned” was returned. 2 26 December 1890 CHRISTMASTIDE IN LEEDS Of all the holidays in the year, Christmastide is perhaps looked forward to with the most interest, inasmuch as to many people it means their annual visit to the best and oldest friends they have got, and to a reuniting of old ties. Then, of all times in the year, is it that the family circle is met together, old differences are healed, and the occasion is made one of festivity. This Christmas has been no exception to the rule, in the latter respect, at any rate ; but, unfortunately, the weather has not been so auspicious as it might have been. In the early part of the week, it appeared probable that we should have a real old fashioned Christmas, with real frost and snow. A thaw, however, set in on Wednesday, and on Christmas Eve, the streets of the town were in A VERY DISAGREEABLE CONDITION rendering “sight seeing” and “shopping” less popular than they would have been. On the same night, and early on Christmas morning too, it is said that the principal streets from time to time were the scene of rowdyism of the most disgraceful kind.
