MAY 2 8TH. - ANGLE, PEMBROKESHIRE.

At 5.50 P.M. a telephone message was received from the Milford Haven naval base that a soldier had fallen over the cliff at Mill Bay. The weather was fine with a northerly wind and a ground swell. At 6.15 P.M. the motor life-boat Elizabeth Elson was launched, taking with her her boarding boat. She found the soldier on the beach, under the cliffs, and the boarding boat in going ashore in the swell was slightly damaged, but she brought the soldier off safely and the lifeboat took him to Milford Haven returning to her station at 9.15 P.M.

Press reports stated that in addition to the life-boat, the army, the navy, the air force, the coastguard and civil defence workers all took part in the search. - Rewards, £18 4s. 6d..
