Kettering Leader, October 1915
A HERO'S GRAVE. - Wellingborough Lad expires from wounds.
Mr and Mrs W Sibley of 53, Wood Street, Wellingborough, have received news of the death of one of their three soldier sons. This is Pte. G Sibley, of the 2nd Northants, who has twice been out to the front. Originally he was in the 1st Northants. He went to France twelve months ago and came home with frostbitten feet and rheumatism. Later he removed to Weymouth and in April of this year went out to the scene of action. During an engagement between September 20th and 23rd he was shot in the chest, and removed to the field hospital. Later he was conveyed to one of the stationary hospitals. From the first his case has been regarded as one of the most serious, and his parents were informed he was too ill to be seen. The poor fellow managed to send a few lines home, but did not live long after, and died on October 6th. Before enlisting the deceased worked for Mr Capps of Carol Spring Farm, Finedon, and later for Messrs. Lack Brothers.
