A MEMORIAL IS. WRONG
Mr.: William Grummett, of Edwinstowe, Nottinghamshire, England, who was. thought to have been posted as missing after the Battle of Mons.has seen his name- oh the war memorial at Ripley, in Derbyshire. The mistake was disclosed in a Police Court case, when Mrs; Fannie Waller sought a separation from' her present husband, arid it was stated that there was reason to believe that her first husband, ,was alive. Mr. Grummett said: "My name was put on the memorial .without my being asked,,so I'm not going to ask for it to..be taken off. When I returned from the, war I found that my wife, from whom I had parted, had married again,; arid decided to leave her. in peace.'l have been living not twenty miles away." Mr. G. T. Hales, people's warden at All Saints' Church, in the grounds of which the memorial stands, said: "It looks as though the name will have to come off."
