Major Bartrop has learned through a friend and other in the same brigade that his son died "a gallant soldier's death" on the fateful 8th of August. The letter says:
—"When all the officers of his company had been put out of action, Ludlow Bartrop gathered the men together, and led the final charge, and was shot on the top of a Turkish parapet."
