Mr. T. S. Ryan has received the following letter from Major Hardie, D.A.A.G.:-

"I am directed to convey to you the deep regret and sympathy of their Majesties the King and Queen, the Commonwealth Government, and the District Commandant in the sad loss you and the army have sustained by the death of your son, the late No. 3454, Private P. F. Ryan, 11th Battalion, Australian Imperial Force, who was killed in action between July 22 and 25, 1916."
