DEATH OF WAR VETERAN. Deep sympathy is felt by her numerous friends for Mrs. Robinson, of 39 Holloway Street in the loss she has sustained through the death on the 24th ult. of her brother Corporal Henry Coshell, whose three children are thus left to her care. The late Corporal Coshell was a native of Hounslow, saw service throughout the South African War and took part in the recent war from 1915, receiving six medals, It was while he was with the Military Foot Police at Ipswich that he was discharged as disabled seven weeks ago, and his demise has evoked the deep regret of everyone who knew him;. The funeral took place on the 29th ult. with military honours, the body being interred at Heston Churchyard and the mourner including Mrs. Robinson and his three children; Mr and Mrs Shortland, Pears Road; Mr and Mrs Humphreys, Isleworth; Mrs R Wells, Chiswick; Mrs Sarah Smith, London; Mrs Sophie Arthur, Holloway Street and Miss Emily Robinson. |
