and got a stretcher for the other one. We lost our way and had to carry him
a good number of miles. We were exhausted when we found a dressing station, and
had to sleep on the side of the road for a few hours. The next morning we had to
travel a long distance to find our headquarters. When we got there they sent
a party to bury your husband and the rest of the crew who were killed. I expect
the ring and wallet you mentioned about, were buried with him in the cemetery.
Another of the crew and myself who were not badly hurt were sent home a short
time after to join a new Batt., which was expecting to go across soon, but the
armistice was signed. I had only know your husband as a friend for a few
months, but I can honestly say that I have never met a man that I liked better.
I should never have been afraid to have trusted him with anything. He was so
broad-minded and straight-forward, beside good natured and always ready to do anyone
a good turn if he could. I am glad to hear you received his bible and photographs.
The other poor young driver had everything left in the Tank, in his coat, and it was
burnt up, so his people have not had any of his belongings. He was an only son,
and only reached the age of 19. I did not get a chance to see to any of their
belongings, as I was almost hit twice while taking the wounded away. One of them
is still in hospital and has lost one of his eyes, and I do not know what
happened to the others. I don't suppose I shall ever visit Scotland as I came back
from Canada, where I expect to be sent to again when I am discharged, but
I shall always reverence your husband's memory, and shall always regret that I
did not get a chance to help him. He was hit through the throat, and I don't
think he felt any pain. I must conclude now, so please accept my sincerest
sympathy to yourself, and also his poor mother in her old age.
From Yours Sincerely,
