This pneumonia proved too much for him, but he made such a brave fight. He was always so nice to one when I went to see him. I lead prayers with him and the yuan in the next bed twice, we remembered you all at home in our prayers. The last time I saw him the carr boy was rambling and detirior e gave me a smile of wel- come, but soon rambled off, poor boy. His voice had gone and he spoke in a whisper. We tried to comfort and soothe !eel. We buried him in a nice mutter. 'emetery here at Charleroi, where many 'of tire brave British Sol- diers lie buried. A neat cross with his name and n Y will e f r n r ert ' on wr Il so ori be put lip at the head of his grave. His • personal beiongings are, by• regulation. sent to the base, from where' they aro sent to England and to his next of kin in due course. We chaplains do not handle them, May God sustain and comfort your now and always as he alone can, and bring you rine day to a happy reunion with your,dear son in the full and splendid life beyond this. • The last message John gave me for you was his fond and Yovirrg good wishes. Yours in tender and sincere sympathy. -1-t. F. Steele, Chap lain, C. E. F.
