The death of Douglas Larman was announced in the Yorkshire evening Post in a lenghty article printed on Monday 11 December
1939. He was killed when the lorry he was travelling in stalled as it crossed a level crossing and was hit by an oncoming
express freight train. The lorry was full of men who were travelling back to camp after attending a concert. Six men were
killed in the accident and a further seven men injured. The dead men were buried side by side in Terlincthun British Cemetery.
Douglas Larman was the electrician with the Scholes Village Players before the war.
