I must say he was one of those brave and true hearted Cana - liens that left home and friends to light for his King and the Empire, and was well liked by all that made ids acquaintance aud mom so was a favorite of 19 Troop. He was buried where he died in Thanbanchu cemetery a most beautifal place. He was laid to rest under military honors and I hope he shunbers to awaken in that beautiful land where the ring of the Manseor the sonncl of the ponopom, is heard 11c1 more. I tnight say that Dick's death makes 9 per cent. of 'Mr troop dead ; 7 per cent. of them died of diseases and 2 per cent, killed on the tield of berate ab Zybrand. No doubt you have read of it before now, in which the late brother took an active part, showed his courage as a soldier and from there he kept ins plate in the leeks until he took sick at a place called Piet Poore,; from there he went to the Hospital, sorry to say for the last time. But we must part sonic day sooner or later to give an account of the deeds done in the body, lee it be in South Africa or Canada. The time is sure to come. Well Walter, I might say I am en- joying excellent health, end have ever since 1 canto to the country, with the exeeptiou of a week I was in Hospital with a sore leg caused by a kick bout a male.
