Mr. S. J. Hogarth, -
Dear -Sir,-
would like to write and ex-,
press my sympathy with( you in, the
loss of your son who was killed on
the Afternoon of October the first
on the Sonaree, be tsvein Thie pool and.
Courcellette, It was a lough day and.
Many good Iads went under. 'We had
gone over the parapet and. taken our
section of Regina trench in spite of
the fierce machine-gun fire andheavy
shelling. IL was after going through
this land helping to clear the trench
on the evening that. your son was
killed. I don't know the exact part-
iculars because 1 myself wee' wow:vi-
ed :before reaching the trench.
I had known your son and. had been
in the same platoon with him since
he icame in a draft to our laaetalion
in. June. There was no finer lad da
the company. I had watched. thine on
route ,marches when older men were
giving out and he was swing,ng along
good ;huraouredly. If anything was
to be carried to the trenches, he
volunteered and cheerfully did more
than his part.
He (didn't seem to know fear. All
Morning 'before we went over, we
knew we were going; yet he was
conspiciously bright and cheerful,
I remember the last words I heard
him say that 'there was no use worry
bag. If a chap was going to get him, be
would whether he worried or not,
-That was his spirit and I've no douhe
he was carrying out th:e S'1113.C't epirit
when he met death.
'More than once I remember, onr
platoon Sergeant had remarked to
me that "That young Illegarth is a
brick." I think in the sorrow of your
loss, you should feel a great pride
in a fine young man's sacrifice. He
was popular with us all.
Sincerely yours,
Warren Loggie.,
