From a newspaper in the Yorkshire Post Group, 27 May 1916:

A NOTED YORKSHIRE HOCKEY PLAYER:

The death of Sec-Lieut. Alfred Dalton (Barney) Bond, York and Lancaster Regiment, which occurred at Scarborough Nursing Home, came as a profound shock to the people of Barnsley, where he belonged and the news was received with the deepest regret in Yorkshire hockey circles in which as a player, he was he was so prominent and popular.  Filling the position of outside left, he was associated with the Ardsley (near Barnsley) Hockey Club and frequently appeared for Yorkshire and the North.


When war broke out he secured a commission in the York and Lancasters, and was on home service when an attack of bronchitis developed into pneumonia with fatal results.  The Deceased officer who was 32/33 years of age, was a solicitor, the only son of Mr. G.A Bond of The Grove, Barnsley, and was a member of of the firm of Newman and Bond, solicitors, Barnsley.  He was married to Miss Winifred B. Alderson of Barnsley and resided at Ardsley Lodge, Barnsley.  He leaves a widow and two young children.  The internment took place at Ardsley Church, Barnsley on Tuesday, where the deceased had been a church warden.
