SEAMAN BREARLEY

Found this in the Derbyshire Courier 6th July 1915 Leo Brearley was the only child of Harry Brearley who was living at Elmwood House at this time. Interesting information on how the POW's were looked after in WW1.
Follow up in the Lynn Advertiser on 16th July 1915, by which time Leo had returned to the Naval Division at Crystal Palace.
Leo survived the war and returned to Whittington where he married in 1919.
