The death occurred, at Swansea Hospital, on Wednesday, of Bugler Charles Henry Newbury, of the 6th (Reserve) Battalion Welsh Regiment. Deceased, a son of Col.-Sergt. Newbury, of the same battalion, was not quite 14 years old, and had been a member of the corps for over two years, and was in "T" Company. A fortnight ago he was taken ill, and died at the hospital. Formerly he was a member of the 14th Swansea Troop of Boy Scouts. His home was at 16, Yorwerth-street, Manselton, and he attended Manselton School. He took a keen delight in soldiering. The little lad was extremely popular with his companions, and much sympathy is felt for his bereaved relatives.
