10989, Private, 7th Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment
Lincolnshire Star, Saturday 12th May 1917
"WINTERTON - MEMORIAL SERVICE.- There was a large congregation at the Parish Church on Sunday evening when a memorial service was held for Private Ernest Cyril Richardson and Private Arthur Collingwood, who have lost their lives in recent actions. The latter was not a member of a Church going family, but it is the custom to honour the names of all who are on the Roll by reading them out daily and offering prayers whatever denominations they belong. The Vicar conducted the service and referred in sympathetic manner to the lads who had given their lives. Helenore’s Burial Service was sung, and the Dead March was played by the organist. The congregation honoured the fallen by standing while the vicar read out the names. The Primitive Methodists also held a memorial service for Private Arthur Collingwood on Sunday evening. The Rev. J. Wilkinson made a touching reference to the deceased. There was a large congregation who stood during the reading of the names on the Roll of Honour."
