"LEFT ALONE IN THE WORLD."
A terrible chapter of domestic tragedies was unfolded at Leeds Assizes, when David Hartley Ross (27), of Glasgow, a stage carpenter, pleaded guilty to having attempted to obtain by false pretences 020 10s lid at Bradford and to having forged a banker’s cheque for the same amount. As a result of being wounded twice, at Salonika and the Somme, Ross had epileptic fits. His wife and baby died in December last. His lather joined the Army, and gave his life. His three brothers had all been killed in the war. "I think you are right in saying that you have been left alone in the world,” commented the judge, who hound Ross over for 12 months.
