2nd Lt. Arthur Norman Wade and Corporal Jack Keighley (seated) were 2 of 33 men that volunteered from the Leigh Mills, Stanningley. They were both trainee textile designers at the mill. Arthur was the son of Caleb Wade who was a Leigh Mills senior director and textile designer. He attended Giggleswick High School and Leeds University, joining their Office Training Corps. Arthur died serving with the 7th Battalion Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, 19th September 1915 and is buried in Pont-Du-Hem Military Cemetery, France. Sadly we don’t know as much about Jack”s life - he served in the West Yorkshire Regiment as a Corporal and survived the war.
Both photographs were rescued by noted historian Gavin John Purdon and restored & coloured by Pete Richardson (mail@richphoto.co.uk). With thanks to both for supplying them for the website.
