• January 19, 2018 02:56:58 Thomas A. Lingner

  Many readers will learn with regret that Second-Lieut.

  Alfred Boxall, one of the officers of the 262nd (G.W.R.) 

  Constructional Company,

  was killed on October 25th

  by an enemy shell whilst 

  carrying out work in an

  advanced position in

  France. At the time of 

  joining the Colours on February 3rd last, Lieutenant

  Boxall was an

  assistant on the staff of the divisional engineer at

  Shrewsbury, and previously

  was for some time in the chief engineer's

  office at Paddington. He

  was the youngest son of 

  Mr. G. Boxall, for many

  years the Company's Chief

  Cashier. Letters received

  from his late fellow officers

  speak in the highest terms of his gallant behavior and

  soldierly qualities.
