Wright stood out as the two most brilliant members: poor Wright was killed on 25 Jan., and I feel it will be impossible ever to replace him and your boy. They could neither have been more perfect as machine gunners, or more brave, and always first to wish to take the place of danger. Your boy was killed on 24 Jan. by a chance shot in the head, just south of the La Bassée Canal, where he was with the machine gun, in a very dangerous and important position. I had come to feel I should always be safe to be able to get up my guns under no matter what fire, and have them brilliantly served as long as I had these two men with me. I had spent some months continuously with them, and now not only feel I have lost two irreplaceable men, but also two friends. Your son died doing his duty as he had always done, most gallantly." Justice was one of the winning team for the Machine-gun Cup in 1913. [Illustration: =Percy Harold Justice.=] =KADWELL, WILLIAM=, Corpl., R.M.L.I., Ch./13957, H.M.S.
