Newcastle Journal, 7 April 1915:

"Recruiting March; Northumberland Fusiliers visit Wooler and District

The recruiting march in the north of Northumberland of the 7th Northumberland Fusiliers, 2nd line, started from Alnwick yesterday. Three officers and about 150 men paraded in the Market square and the first day's march was to Whittingham, Glanton, Powburn and Wooler. The full regimental band attended, under bandmaster Charles Johnson......The second day's parade will be from Wooler to Chatton, Lowick, Ford, Crookham to Cornhill......Tomorrow the march will be continued via Norham and Horncliffe to Berwick....On Friday the route will be via Haggerston to Belford and Bamburgh; and on Saturday the march will be via Seahouses, North Sunderland, Beadnell, Chathill to Alnwick.
It is hoped as a result of the march that a number of recruits who have not hitherto come forward will be added to the ranks of the 7th Northumberland Fusiliers, 2nd Line"
