He suffered no pain, as the bullet hit him in the head. All in his company send to you the greatest of sympathy in your great loss. He was a good lad and always willing to do anything that was asked of him to do, and he made the greatest sacrifice along with many of his comrades, including his commanding officer. I hope and trust God will give you courage and help to bear your loss as light as possible."- Corpl. E. Hoyle.
