Mrs. A. S. Marshall has received the following letter from the comrades of her son, GUNNER L. A. MARSHALL, who died of wounds in France on June 17:— France, June 28. — Dear Mrs. Marshall — Those of us who had been for a long time in close association with your late son Leonard feel that we must send you a few words. Being one of the few men who ever formed true friendship, his death came to us as a very severe shock, and his absence from the staff has left a vacancy that can never be refilled. He shared our joys and sorrows, and his ever-ready smile, even under the very worst of conditions, became a by-word. His memory will always remain. We who worked side by side with him day after day knew him for one of the whitest of men it has ever been our privilege to call friend, and we can by our own individual personal feelings fully understand and sympathise with you. Please accept our deepest sympathy in your very sad bereavement and irreparable loss. We are, &c,
