Lance Corporal Charles LowtherFrom the Northumberland Gazette:
After having been previously reported as missing, official notificationhas been received from the War Office by Mrs C Lowther that her husband Lance Corporal Charles Lowther, of the Auxilliary Military
Pioneer Corps was killed on active service during fighting in France. Lance Corporal Lowther, who hailed from Chevington Drift, saw service in the last war and on the outbreak of the present conflict
offered his services, which were accepted.
His body was discovered on the shore at St. Nazaire and he was buried in La Bernier Cemetery
with full military honours. He leaves a widow, two sons and four daughters.
It is likely that Lance Corporal Lowther died when the troopship SS Lancastria
was sunk by enemy bombers off St.Nazaire on 17th June 1940.

(Why Lance Corporal Lowther is
listed as Private Lowther on the War
Memorial is something of a mystery)
