Newcastle library newspaper look up, please
« on: Saturday 19 August 23 14:03 BST (UK) »
Newcastle Evening Chronicle 6th Sep 1918
page 2 , col 2

I believe there are 6 In Memoriam notices for John Craig Anderson who died 6th Sep 1917 from gas and shell shock. These are online but not readable, I tried and failed :-(

I am certainly not asking anyone to sit and transcribe 6 notices, that is too big an ask,
but if anyone has time to look at the film and tell me if the images on film are actually readable (though it may need a different lens to the standard one)  then I'll see if I can order and pay the library for a copy.

Thanks

Boo

I remembered that the Library will answer specific queries so I sent the form in asking if their microfilm is readable and, if so, could I purchase a copy of these In Memoriams.

and this morning I have had a reply - complete with an image of the entries. Its not perfect but is readable and I am very grateful to the librarian.
