Dear Gerty,
This is a very painful duty I have to perform and I have chosen you
as being better able to bear up under the shock than would your Father
or Mother, and Because I know you will be able to impart to them this
information better than I could in my abrupt way.
I am very sorry to say that Walter was killed in action on Saturday
21st August. Our Brigade charged the Turks about 3.30 p.m. and during
the advance Walter, my best chum, was shot in the neck, right through the
jungler vein, his life blood poured forth as from a fountain, he reeled,
and immediately got another through the brain, which made death
instantaneous and this causing him no pain or death agony, and how I feel
now, but you understand.
Now, Gerty, please forgive me for choosing you as the recipient of
this letter, and believe me in very deepest regret.
George. E. Rogan
P.S. I can't write any more, under the circumstances do I think any
more would intrest you. If you should care for any further information
say so, and I will endeavour to give it you as far as the Censor will
allow.
G. E. Rogan.

www.firstworldwar.comFor what Mr. George E. Rogan points in his letter, we can deduce that Walter Love died during one of the charges of the Battle of Scimitar Hill, the last offensive mounted by the British at Suvla.
