trying ones. A most promising officer, absolutely fearless, and had
done so well."

Officers' Cemetery there; _unm._ Sergt.-Major Seldon wrote: "He
was shot through the head, and died before they could take him out of
the trenches. I have the personal guarantee of the doctor who attended
him (Dr. Ross, of New Plymouth) that he did not regain consciousness.
Major Cox entrusted me personally with the duties of his burial. That
evening I called for volunteers, and the whole of his company was
forthcoming. We restricted it to a few of his most intimate friends,
all ranks being represented. Under heavy shrapnel fire, but under
cover of darkness, we buried dear old Roy with full soldier's funeral
rites and honours under the hill overlooking the sea," adding, "Roy
was the first in our battn. to receive a commission on his merits
from the ranks. Having speedily proved his worth as a soldier he was
on 8 May promoted to Coy. Sergt.-Major, and on 29 May was appointed
Lieut., being transferred to the Ruahine Coy. on 2 June. Alas! his
chance of further distinguishing himself was soon cut off, for in his
first action as Lieut. he was, 3 June, sadly accounted for. It was at
Courtney's Post he gave his life for his country."

gun detachment down a trench he was shot through his belt. He was
unable to move but quite sensible, and told the machine gun section to
leave him with his pistol. They, however, carried him back and got him
