Original 1913 Great Western Railway internal memorandum issued from the Divisional Superintendent at Birmingham Snow Hill Station regarding an incident involving Miss Sharman at Hockley Station.

Dated June 27, 1913, and addressed to Mr. Cope, the memo requests a statement from Guard Warburton about the accident. It reports that Miss Sharman slipped while boarding the train, which then started before she had recovered herself. The document is typed on official GWR stationery and includes a memo number and stamp.
