2331653, Signalman, 50 Div. Sigs. Royal Corps of Signals
Scunthorpe and Frodingham Star, 23 January 1943
"A former employee of the Scunthorpe Post Office who matriculated at the Scunthorpe Grammar School, Stanley Hall, youngest son of Mr and the late Mrs Hall of Spring House, Winterton, is now believed to have lost his life in Libya at the age of 23 years. He was officially posted missing on June 2nd of last year, but in view of a communication from a fellow signaller who was with him, and who was wounded and taken prisoner (and is now in Italy), the family believe he was killed in action. This news has been received by his fiancee, Miss Dora Gibson, also an employee of the Post Office.
Stanley Hall was in the Royal Corps of Signals attached to headquarters of the 150th Infantry Brigade of the Eight Army which as broadcast by Mr Atlee, was overrun in June of last year. The fellow signaller who has communicated with Miss Gibson, is a Newcastle man whom Mr Hall met while relieving at the Post Office, Jarrow, before the war. They had met again in the Army, and, until the Libyan action, had been inseparable.
Stanley hall was well known in local sporting circles. He played football for Winterton Rangers and cricket for the Postal Staff, on one occasion scoring a century at Ashby. Previously he had been captain of the first eleven at both cricket and football at the Grammar School where he was also captain of Viking House. Obtaining a scholarship to the Grammar School from Winterton at the age of ten, he later matriculated and entered Scunthorpe Post Office as a telegraphist."
