Burnley Express (27th July 1918)

Mr. and Mrs. Cloudsdale of 34, Hull-Steet, Burnley, have received an official intimation that their son, Pte. Fred Cloudsdale , 89158 Middlesex Regiment, was missing after an engagement on May 27, but have now got a message saying he is a prisoner and well. The soldier, though in an exempted trade (that of an engineer with Messrs. Cammell and Laird, Birkenhead) , answered the call for men on Nov. 4th 1916, and after training at Chatham was drafted abroad in December of last year, and since that period he has witnessed much of the havoc of war. He is 21 years of age and well known in the Fulledge district. Pte. Cloudsdale was connected with St. Stephen’s Church and School, where he is on the roll of honour. This is the second blow to the family. Another son Pte. Bernard Cloudsdale, of the Kings Own, made the supreme sacrifice on the Somme on the 23rd of July, 1916.
