Extract from a Military Tribunal in May 1918

John White, married, formerly Category A, a boot manufacturer, produced a paper showing he was totally and permanently rejected from the Army.

Rushden Echo & Argus, 10th November 1944, transcribed by Kay Collins

Yelden - DanceA successful dance was held in the Institute in aid of the local Service Members’ Gift Fund. Mr. H. Castle was M.C. and the music was supplied by the Rushden Impregnable Players. A competition for a bottle of whiskey, organized by Mr. J. George, was won by Segt. T. L. Euriga, U.S.A. The total profit on the dance was £13 14s. 8d.
We have nothing about the Impregnable Players - please can anyone help?
