Stratford Herald Friday 26th October 1917
DIED PRIVATE SIDNEY SOLOMAN

The parents of this young soldier have received the sad intelligence of his death from fever in Mesopotamia. Private Soloman belonged to the King’s Own Royal Lancashires and had been in action in three different theatres of the war. In January 1915 he was in France and was badly frostbitten. Upon recovery he was
sent to the Dardanelles where he remained until the evacuation of the peninsula. He returned to England again to get fit and in October last he was sent to Mesopotamia, participating in the capture of Baghdad. 

A quiet and unassuming young man he made many friends and his death is most keenly felt by his parents who reside in Vincent Avenue.
