Soldiers at Biscot Camp [Z1306/75/16/14]
Wednesday 12th July 1916: A wartime romance has reached a happy
conclusion in Luton with the marriage today of Sergeant R. Hayward, an
artillery sergeant at Biscot Camp, to Miss Rose Charlotte Marsh of 112,
Leagrave Road. The wedding took place at Christ Church, Luton. The bride wore
white with a silk veil and orange blossom and carried a bouquet, with
bridesmaids Lily and Violet Marsh wearing white voile, and a third bridesmaid,
Miss Eva Kirby, wearing shantung. The bridge and groom met quite recently at a
military concert in Luton.
A rather less happy event took
place at Biscot this evening when Driver Green of D Battery of the London Royal
Field Artillery was playing football. He slipped and fell heavily, sustaining
severe bruises and dislocating three fingers. He is now recovering in the Bute
Hospital.
