Lieut. R. C. Blackwood, of the 2nd Royal Scots, wrote: "He had gone to act as a guide to the men who were to relieve us after a long time in the trenches. He was waiting for the new troops to arrive when a shell burst near him. His death happened in the night and as we had to hurry off I regret that we were unable to bury him, but this duty would be carried out by the troops who relieved us. I am exceedingly sorry to lose such a good corpl. His section was always the smartest on parade, and he kept them all up to the scratch. Only the day before his death he had been very active in carrying wounded soldiers into the trench, and in so doing must have brought comfort to many." Corpl.
