Lieut. C. C. Brown wrote: "I suppose his brother will have told you what happened. He left our reserve bivouac with a fatigue party about 1.30 yesterday (8 Nov.). This party had just arrived at their destination at a place just behind the front line trenches (which trenches your son had been in before), where the Turk line lies very close to our trenches. I suppose the direct line was not 100 yards away from where your son was killed. Some shrapnel came, killing your son instantaneously; he was hit in the head. It also killed three or four others belonging to the East Kent Yeomanry. We buried him this morning at a spot about 300 yards up a hill which veers sharply at 'Y' Beach, a spot where one of the original landings was made on this peninsula, overlooking a glorious view of the island of Imbros and Suvla Bay across the sea.... He did his duty from beginning to end, and did it well." [Illustration: =Cyril James Howard.=] =HOWARD, ERNEST GUY=, Leading Stoker, 305880, H.M.S.
