"News has reached Acle of the death of Elvin Bulley of the Norfolks who was killed in action during last week. The deceased was a resident in Acle for nine or ten years and was a moulder at Messrs Smithdale and Sons, Acle. He was quite a favourite among the young fellows. He was also captain of the Acle football team for several years and also a member of the Queen's Head Bowling Club. Soon after the war broke out he enlisted with several others of the parish. His brother was fighting beside him in the same trench and was wounded a few hours earlier." Elvin Spencer is buried at the Guillemont Road Cemetery, Somme.
