His Commanding Officer wrote: “During the few months I knew your son I got to like him very much, and whilst the work must have been pretty hard on him, he was a sticker and never had a complaint. We were in action together on 14th April and your son came through all right. I can tell you his coolness under fire opened my eyes. My brother officers and you son’s comrades join with me in tendering you deepest sympathy in your great loss”. Unmarried.
