...and a Cross Now Marks His Place - 1914 (Ft. Nick Holmes)
[intro]
Dear Mother

I regret very much to inform you
That your son Private A.G Harrison
Was killed in action on the night of
The 21st instant

Death was instantaneous and without suffering
The company was taking part in an attack
(and) your son's gun team was one of them
Which advanced against the enemy

The attack was successful
And all guns reached
And established new positions

Later in the night
The enemy shelled our lines

And one shell fell on your son's gun
Killing him and wounding a comrade
It was impossible to get his remains away

And one shell fell on your son's gun
Killing him and wounding a comrade
It was impossible to get his remains away
