BURTON LATIMER - MEMORIAL SERVICE - A memorial service to the late Lance-Corpl. Phillip Burros, second son of the Rev. T.S. Burros (pastor of the Baptist Church) who was killed in action in Palestine on April 19th, was held at the Baptist Chapel on Sunday evening, the Rev. C. Feakin, of Kettering, conducting the service. There was a large attendance to pay respect to the memory of the deceased and show sympathy with the bereaved.

Mr. C. Stokes, the church secretary, read the to the congregation a touching letter he had received from the pastor in reply to the vote of sympathy and condolences the church congregation had forwarded to their minister, many of the congregation being visibly affected. the preacher took as his text "I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me"; and the choir feelingly rendered Barnaby's "Sleep thy sleep."

Phillip John Woodman Burros, better known as "Phil," was born at Driffield, Yorkshire, and educated at Wellingborough Grammar and Kettering High Schools. he took a keen interest in cricket, football and other athletic pastimes, and it was doubtless his sporting instinct and pluck that led him so early to decide upon taking the bolder step of fighting for his country. He enlisted on Dec. 4th, 1914, and after going through about eighteen months of training at various places was drafted out to Egypt in May, 1916.
