F. Taylor & Co., Lower Holme Mills, Woodbottom, Baildon.

During the war he was a private in the "Bradford Pals", and served in Egypt and France. He was wounded but he had not suffered from malaria or ague.
On Saturday 5 June, her husband went by himself to Shipley Glen. He returned home about 7.30 pm, and witness noticed that his right eye was swollen. She drew his, attention to it, and he replied that he did not know his eye was swollen, but he remembered something biting him on his eye when he was on the Little Glen.
The Coroner: Did you mean some insect, do you know? Witness: Yes, he said it was like a midge bite. She added that nothing was done to the eye then.
On Sunday morning the eye was very much swollen, and her husband went to see Mr. Lambert (ambulance man Saltaire Mills, who bathed the eye with iglidine, and also bandaged it. Her husband then went to Saltaire Hospital on Sunday afternoon and again on Monday. In the evening he complained of pain in his head and went to bed.
About 12.30am on Tuesday, her husband got out bed, and said that he was nearly mad with pain, and that it had got to his throat.
Witness put hot fomentations on, and her husband went to the hospital again and stayed there until his death.
Miss A. E. Mills, matron at Saltaire Hospital, said that when he came to the hospital 3 p.m. on 6 June he was attended by Dr. Firth and the nurse. When he came to the hospital the following morning Goleby was seen by Dr. Sharpe.

Dr. E. S. Sharpe, of Shipley, said he first saw Goleby at his surgery on Monday morning (June 7), having been sent there from the hospital.
The Coroner: What was his condition then?
Dr. Sharpe: He had this swelling on the right eyelid, and his right cheek and temple. He said he had been bitten by something on the previous Saturday afternoon, whilst he was the Glen. I could find no sign of a bite of any description, but the parts were so swollen that it was difficult to tell.
Witness added that did not Goleby until the following morning in the hospital, when his condition was very much worse, the swelling having affected the whole his right cheek and his upper lip.
Early on Wednesday morning Goleby began have difficulty with swallowing; an incision was made in his right cheek and inside his mouth, which gave temporary relief, and he was able to swallow. His condition early on Sunday morning was very grave. Goleby complained of a violent pain, and there were indications of commencing peritonitis.
The cause death was septicaemia from blood poisoning following some infection through puncture on the right cheek over the eyelid.
The Coroner: How would the infection be introduced?
Dr. Sharpe: Either from the bite itself, or something carried in the puncture with the bite.
The Coroner: It might have been on his skin, or his hands, and got in when he rubbed the puncture. The gnat or fly might have introduced the infection?
Dr. Sharpe: Whatever it was that stung it was difficult to say -might have come from a dead animal or rubbish heap and might have carried the infection through that. There was nothing in the sting itself which showed the cause. He added that the iglidine which Lambert used to bathe the eye was a proprietary preparation very largely used, and suitable to use.

One man was tall, and she heard him say “I am not going to take any more of your sauce.” He then struck the women and afterwards dealt a blow to the other man. The woman felt backwards way down the steps. The husband of the witness went across and said to the man: “You have had enough, go home.” The man replied, “I am going home.” The witness afterwards saw her husband going in the direction of the police station with Gornall. She did not know what became of the other man.
A juror: Are you sure Gornall was the man who struck the woman!
Witness: Yes, he struck her on the chest
Police Constable Clark spoke to hearing two men talking loudly near the Junction Hotel. Deceased was standing in the doorway in front of Gornall and he struck her with his fist. Witness asked Gornall what was the matter, and he replied, “There is two of them trying to pick a quarrel with me.” Gornall was taken into custody, and he afterwards said that he only pushed her. Witness did not know what became of the other man whom Gornall struck. Gornall was very excited. On being charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm on the deceased Gornall replied, “I know nothing about it.”
In reply to Gornall the witness said the other man did not strike the woman.
Miss Mitchell, the matron at Saltaire Hospital, said deceased was admitted at half past ten on Sunday night. There were no external wounds and the deceased smelt strongly of drink. She was unconscious and remained so up to her death on Wednesday morning.
Dr Jenkins (of Windhill) who made a post mortem examination said the skull was not fractured. The cause of death was pressure of blood on the brain caused, in his opinion, by a violent blow on the skull. The injury might have been brought about by a fall. There was no evidence from the examination that the deceased had been a chronic drinker.
The jury retired twice, and on returning the second time the foreman announced they were of opinion “that the deceased met her death as the result of an unpremeditated blow or push given by Gornall thereby causing her to fall down the steps.
The Coroner said that amounted to a verdict of manslaughter.

Report in the Shipley Times 3 December 1915: -

A charge of manslaughter was preferred at the Leeds Assises on Tuesday (30 November) against Arthur Gornall (28). window cleaner, who, it was alleged, caused the death Jane Elizabeth Shepherd, at Shipley, on 19 September last. Mr. Harold Newell prosecuted, and Mr. Chas. Mellor. instructed by Mr. W. Dunn (Shipley), appeared on behalf of the prisoner, who pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Mr. Newell said it seemed that the woman who was killed and the prisoner had been drinking together in the Junction Hotel, Commercial Street. Shipley and that the woman had paid for drink.
A constable named Arthur Clark, who was in plain clothes, was passing the hotel with his wife, and saw the prisoner having a violent altercation outside with a man unknown. The dead woman joined in, and the prisoner said, “I shan’t take any of your sauce,” and struck her with his fist. The result was that the woman was knocked down and fell down some area steps on to her head on concrete below.
Mr. Mellor said that the man was a friend of the woman’s and they used to drink together in public-houses. The man had already been in prison for two months, and counsel asked that this should be taken into consideration.
The jury having formally brought in a verdict of “Guilty,” his Lordship said the difference between one case of manslaughter, and another was very great. Some cases were next door to murder, and others were next door to accident. Prisoner had a good character and everybody in the court knew perfectly well that did not intend to kill the woman. He would be bound over.
Gornall was then formally bound over and discharged.

Arthur enlisted in December 1915, and he was mobilised, 7 March 1916. He was living in Albert Terrace in Saltaire as he served as a Private with the Duke of Wellington’s West Riding Regiment.

It is the evening of Christmas Day, and I wish I could just transport you to where I am. It is a real education and I cannot help thinking that after all it is but a dream.

We arrived here last Tuesday (21 December 1915, I cannot tell you where I am but we are in tents on a big tract of sand. The sand is a comfortable bed, yet a great nuisance. We have to tie cloths around our rifles and even then the sand the sand gets through somehow or another. Naturally we ate a large amount of it too.

Our sea voyage was a trifle too anxious and exciting for my liking. I was seasick for about three days in the Bay of Biscay, and had a sort of throw-me-over-board feeling. After I recovered I enjoyed the life until we cut a 3,000 ton steamer in two.

The accident occurred about midnight and it was anything but pleasant waking up to that. We rescued most of the people on board, and I though at first we were going down. Chased by submarines! How does that sound? It is a fact, I can assure you. We sent a shell into one of them, and were rewarded by a torpedo, which missed us by about 10 yards, thank goodness!

We called at Malta on the way here, but we were not allowed to land. It looked picturesque enough and was my first scene of the Oriental. However, we are ready for anything and I feel in the best of health, which is a good thing.

It is winter here and the natives are cold, but for us it is as hot as a midsummer day; if anything the sun is more powerful, so I don't what it will be like when summer does come. Down near to where we are encamped it is a fascinating sight to see the open-air cafes, etc. I have seen all kinds of nationalities, but I don't care much for the Arabs.

We are not allowed in the native quarter, nor do I possess a desire to go there. I suppose we shall have a good deal to go through, in the course of which, I might enhance my knowledge and broaden my views of life.

We had a first class dinner on Christmas Day considering the circumstances. We had stew, Christmas pudding (cold), oranges, apples, dates and figs etc., - a right tuck in. We are hoping that next Christmas will find us back at home.  

Norman died 12 May 1917. He was an Acting Sergeant. His battalion were part of the 93rd Brigade in the 31st Division. They had been in France since March 1916.
