    This was his letter to my mother:

    Dear Mrs Graves,

    22.7.16

    I very much regret to have to write and tell you your son has died of wounds. He was very gallant, and was doing so well and is a great loss.

    He was hit by a shell and very badly wounded, and died on the way down to the base I believe. He was not in bad pain, and our doctor managed to get across and attend to him at once.

    We have had a very hard time, and our casualties have been large. Believe me you have all our sympathy in your loss, and we have lost a very gallant soldier.

    Please write to me if I can tell you or do anything.

    Yours sincerely,

    C. Crawshay, Lt-Col.
