He was in the famous 4th Division which saved Amiens last March. He met his death at Merris, France. His officer, Lieutenant Howard Scuddle, writes: — It is with regret I have to recall the sad event of your son's death. He passed away heroically whilst doing his duty on 30th July at Merris. From time to time have had a great deal to with your son and have always found him to be almost thorough and reliable lad and ever willing to do any particularly arduous and dangerous work which may arise. He was very munch liked and respected by all who knew him.
