John Fatherley, arrested for stealing from a ship chandler's store

    That's a fascinating write-up. Always a big worry to a major employer though, staff all in on stealing from them.
    Personally I'd have thought that they'd get far harsher sentences for it - the value was high. I also question the stock taking methods of the shop owner but then again, if those taking from you do the stocktaking too then you have little chance of finding out..

    One day I'll see a distant relative in these photos. I'll go a little red!

    Sadly it looks like John Fatherley was killed on 25 September 1916 www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/37009/. "Soldiers Died in the Great War" confirms this man was born in North Shields.
