The trench was knocked in and cover practically nil, so the operation had to be carried out in full view of the Germans, who put a lot of shrapnel over him and his men. Of course, he joked about it, but poor old ---- said it was a very fine show and one needing a great deal of pluck. I am sure his coolness and pluck then must have been a good example to the men, and just the sort of example they needed in the early days when everything was new and very terrifying to them."

Slope, Gallipoli. The Commanding Officer wrote: "E. Glass has always been a universal favourite amongst both officers and men, always cheery, always willing, his loss will be severely felt by the whole squadron. He had only just returned to Squadron duty from the signal troop, and was killed, shot through the head while on sentry in the firing line during the night. The loss of such a plucky, cheery soul, the very best type of young Englishman, is a loss not only to you, his regiment, his squadron, but to the country for which he so gallantly gave his life"; and another: "I saw a great deal of your son, as he was one of my signallers, and his unfailing cheerfulness always kept everyone happy, even when they were most uncomfortable. Your son was one of the keenest men there, he was always out to learn any new job that was going, and wanted to have a hand in anything out of the ordinary routine."
