I've seen it as I have a copy of the original paper. A sad event for both Meek and Hale families involved and a tragic accident by the accounts. The reports make detailed reading, even by todays standards. James was an upstanding great uncle, member of church, british legion, former Gunner in the RA aand worked at Lydbrook as a Sawyer. Like many when you start the family tree hunt, just wish I could have met him - my dad remembers him for getting soaked at the wrong end of a soda syphon by him and for his home made bread. Little things!

cheers
Roland.
