Faithful Wife’s Fruitless Vigil
A wife’s two years’ wait for her lost husband ended with the identification of the man whose skeleton was found in a ditch at Burnt Oak. Edgware. The body was identified by means of a key in the clothing as that of Drum-Major Thomas Sanders, late of the Scots Guards and the King’sOwn Scottish Borderers. Drum Major Sot* home is within a short distance of where the body was found. He disappeared two years ago, an dsince then Mrs. Sanders left her door unlocked every night in the hope that some day he would return. Sanders served 32 years in the Army. He suffered from heart attacks, and it is thought he may have died suddenly during one of them.
