  46 C.C. S.,

  B.E.F.

  26th April 1918.

  
  

  Dear Sir,

    It is with very great regret I write to supplement the

  sad news which has been conveyed to you already through official

  channels.

    Your Son was admitted to 47 C.C.S. yesterday afternoon

  suffering with a very severe wound in the Abdomen. He was quite

  unconscious and therefore all the efforts of the Surgeons and

  Nurses were directed towards reviving him. But in spite of all

  that was done for your Son, he never rallied nor regained

  consciousness; he passed away quite peacefully at 3-30 p.m., just

  two hours after admission. I can assure you that all that human

  skill could do for him was done, and no effort was spared in the 

  attempt to save his life.

    It will be of some consolation to you to know that your 

  Son must have lost consciousness immediately he was struck, and

  thus he was mercifully spared all pain and suffering.

    I laid his body to rest this afternoon in the British 

  Military Cemetery here, where in due course a suitably inscribed 

  cross will mark his grave.

    I cannot tell you how very sorry I am for you in your great

  loss.            You have my deepest sympathy.

  
  

      Yours Sincerely,

      (Signed)

          Geroge H. Peskett,

               Chaplain.
