‘I am sorry to inform you that H Moore, from Ballymacombs, was killed on Friday night by shrapnel. I shall be grateful if you will tell his relatives how sorry we are to lose him. He was an exceedingly good soldier and a great favourite of his comrades. His officer speaks in the highest terms of his quiet steady disposition and ready willingness for his duties, The funeral was on Saturday evening, and along with four comrades, he lies in a cemetery reserved for British troops. We had a simple service at the graveside, and it may be some consolation to his relatives to know that his death was instantaneous and the internment was sadly and reverently done.’ |
