  including the Officer (2nd Lt. Riddell

  wounded. Killed or burnt.

  I hear, but have not yet found

  the truth of it, that some of

  his company have some of his

  little personal effects ready

  to send home, but please do not

  place any faith in this statement

  yet. I hope to see the Officer in

  Command in a couple of days,

  & will inquire then.

    You have my deepest &

  heartfelt sympathy in your

  terrible bereavement, we are

  all paying a price nowadays

  & some unfortunately more

  than others.

  I am,

  Yours very truly

  J C Gibson

  Capn.
