Dear Sir
Would you kindly send me any particulars regarding my Brother Pte. Matthew Lowe of the King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment. I heard he was home at Manchester on sick leave owing to wounds & on his return to France I hear he has been killed in action about 2 or 3 months ago. If such is the case, kindly let me know at your convenience as he has left a wife & 8 children.
Thanking you in anticipation
I am Sir
Your obedient servant
Thos. Lowe
