100 YEARS AGO: Sussex Express 21 June 1918. Piltdown. Agent for this paper Mr Grover. Wounded Entertained. On Saturday Mr F H Hayller again entertained a number of wounded soldiers at his residence. In the past his thoughtfulness in this respect has been greatly appreciated. Apart from a heavy rainstorm the event passed off most pleasurably to all concerned, the entertainment, including music and war time luxuries, being greatly appreciated. Among others invited guests were some of the senior scholars of the Uckfield National School, who spent a very happy afternoon.
