"With heartfelt sorrow and the most kindly feelings of
tender sympathy the inhabitants of Cinderford and of the
Forest generally will hear of the death of No 4024 Pte.
Nathaniel Jacobs, son of Mr E Jacobs, Belle Vue Road,
Cinderford. Only a few weeks ago he was home on leave
and his many friends were hoping for him the best of
good fortune when he returned to the duty in the discharge
of which he has nobly laid down his life. He enlisted
at the beginning of the conflict and it will be remembered
that he had been wounded and afterwards came home for some
period. The news of his death, which was, happily instantaneous,
was conveyed this week in a very kind letter by the Rev. G. M.
Evans a chaplain at the Front, who sends to the bereaved
father and other relatives the sincerest sympathy of the
commanding officier, company officers, and all. The official
notice has now arrived from the War Office. Pte. Jacobs was
attached to the Worcesters."
