PRIVATE L. MOLLER.
Mr. F. C. Moller, Morgan-street, Mount Morgan, has received the following letter, written in France on the 16th of June, from Captain A. O. Woods, M.C., Officer Commanding C Company, with reference to his son, Private L. Moller, who died of wounds in France: —"You have no doubt been advised by the authorities of the death of your gallant son, Private L. G. Moller, who was one of my boys. It is one of the hardest tasks of a company commander to write and give you some little consolation in telling you the details of your son's death. He was wounded by a piece of a shell which burst about 150 yards from him about four o'clock on the morning of the 9th of June. He was immediately attended to by our Royal Medical officer, who was close, and we thought that he had just got a nice "Blighty", and it was with deepest regret that we heard that he had passed away at the casualty clearing station. We were in reserve at the time in front of the Morlancourt sector, and it was just a chance shot that got him. Will you please accept the deepest sympathy of all officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of C Company in your sad loss?"
