Miss Arnold who was 23 years of age, had served in the A.T.S. until ill-health brought about her discharge. Subsequently she was for a time, up to a few weeks ago, employed as an assistant at the local Co-operative Stores. Her father is an employee of the Ventnor Council, and with his wife and other members of the family will be assured of the deep sympathy of all who know them.
