AGWR Posted 28 June , 2005 Share Posted 28 June , 2005 I was wondering if anyone could tell me which newspaper would have covered Leslie during the period 1910-1916? Any details of the local war memorial would also be gratefully received. Thanks in anticipation Regards, AGWR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Jones Posted 30 June , 2005 Share Posted 30 June , 2005 I found information on a Leslie man in 1915 in The Kirkaldy Times. The catalogue of the British Library Newspaper Library enables you to search by location for the newspapers you want, although it’s a bit hit and miss if like me you don’t know the area. Good luck!

Thanks in anticipation Regards, AGWR <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi AGWR, I live very near Leslie, what do you want to know about the war memorial, I could easily take some pictures of it and e-mail them to you if you like. I will try to do it tomorrow. What names are you looking for? As for the paper that covered Leslie at that time, the only one I can think of is THE FIFE FREE PRESS. You might find more details at http://www.fifeonline.co.uk/ Cheers Macthomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGWR Posted 30 June , 2005 Author Share Posted 30 June , 2005 MacThomas, Thanks a lot for the PM and the tip about the Fife Free Press . Much appreciated. Regards, AGWR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moriaty Posted 2 July , 2005 Share Posted 2 July , 2005 Some further suggestions: Fife News which was published by Innes in Cupar (about 12 miles from Leslie) Fife Herald Dundee Courier (which was and still is circulated in Fife) Dundee Telegraph Dundee Advertiser Then there are the wider circulation papers - The Scotsman and Glasgow Herald Hope this is of help. I think the first two are the most likely Moriaty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGWR Posted 2 July , 2005 Author Share Posted 2 July , 2005 Moriaty, Thanks for the suggestions. There has to be something about this chap in one of them! MacThomas has already kindly established the that he is not commemorated on the Leslie War Memorial. Regards, AGWR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
