Gunner Albert Fleet, son of Mr and Mrs H. Fleet, Leabrooks, near Alfreton, writes that he has visited the grave of his brother, Corporal Fleet, Sherwood Foresters, who was killed in action on September 13th. Corporal Fleet had followed the profession of arms for a number of years, and was one of the original "contemptible little Army." He took part in a number of important engagements and was wounded in one of them. He was also recommended: for the D.C.M. for conspicuous work. After leaving hospital he returned to the Front, where he and his brother Albert met and were stationed close together for a few weeks.
