  • Obituary

    “Training at Gainsborough, being instructed on platoon/platform building in a deep water pit in vicinity of River Trent. Several soldiers were thrown into water through the dipping of the platform. Several of the men were drowned - Pte. Dent was one of them.” “He was accorded military honours about 60 of his comrades being at funeral and 22 men of the Leeds Rifles with a firing party and buglers. Six of the deceased’s Morley comrades acted as bearers. Mourners included his uncle & aunt (Thomas & Emma Wharf) with whom he lived, and other relations. “...had died for the empire for although not serving at the front he was preparing for the front and they looked upon the sacrifice of his life as graet as if he had died in the trenches.” “...he was a single young man and a member of the Banks Hill Wesleyan Adult Bible class. He was in the employ of Messrs Hudson Sykes and Busfield, Springfield Mills, Morley and was well respected by all who knew him.”

Did you know?
In 1894, in the year that William Robinson Dent was born, large reserves of oil were discovered on the Osage Indian reservation in Oklahoma. Previously thought to be "useless" land - not even good for farming - the tribe had bought the land themselves. The discovery of oil made the Osage the "richest group of people in the world" at the time.
Did you know?
In 1900, when he was merely 6 years old, artist Henri Matisse, born in 1869 in France, began the fauvist movement. Only lasting a few years in popularity (ending around 1904), fauvism was in many ways the beginning of modern art. Matisse was fond of bright, vibrant colors and used them in his paintings - contrary to the muted use of color previously. While the fauvist movement declined in popularity, Matisse did not and he went on to create many more works of art and even a museum for his work, 2 years before his death in 1954. (In French, les Fauves means "the wild beasts". Matisse and those who followed his example were called "beasts" because of the bold colors that they used in their artwork.)
