His orderly wrote: "I write this short letter out of respect to my esteemed officer, your son. It was a very severe blow to me to lose him, for he was the very best friend that I ever had out here, and although I was only a 'Tommy' he showed every consideration for me as well as all the other men in the platoon, where he was very much esteemed. He was buried with full honours, and his grave is in a wood with others. There is a cross at the head, and I shall do all I can to keep his grave clean."
