behind the front line trenches (which trenches your son had been in
before), where the Turk line lies very close to our trenches. I suppose
the direct line was not 100 yards away from where your son was killed.
Some shrapnel came, killing your son instantaneously; he was hit in the
head. It also killed three or four others belonging to the East Kent
Yeomanry. We buried him this morning at a spot about 300 yards up a
hill which veers sharply at ‘Y’ Beach, a spot where one of the original

island of Imbros and Suvla Bay across the sea.... He did his duty from
beginning to end, and did it well.”
