​An Officer wrote :
' He met his soldier's death gallantly leading his platoon forward against very heavy rifle and machine gun fire- the wat he led his platoon was splendid.
Almost the last act under his fire was to crawl over and bandage a man of his platoon who had been wounded,nad was certainly one of the most gallant things I have ever see done.
It was almost immediately after this that he was so very unfortunately killed.
His name was sent forward prior to the 25th for his excellent work during the whole time he was out here, and I only hope
he will get the reward he so thoroughly deserves.
He is buried with his men where he fell on the field between Fortuin and St. Julien, northeast of Ypres'

I am proud to have known your son. He and his brother officers have earned our undying gratitude'

A brother officer wrote :
' I don't think a more gallant officer has ever served in the Army, and it is largely due to his ability and the work he has done as Adjutant that the Battalion has reached its high state of efficiency. 
He was killed in action at St. Julien while bringing up reinforcements under heavy fire to resist a series of violent enemy counter-attacks, which they succeeded in doing in the face of overwhelming odds, his Commanding Officer having been killed previously.
He was always cheerful and high spirited that he was extremely popular with both officers and men'

Killed in action after delivering a message

Captain Foster O.B. , Commanding "C" Coy. wrote:
' He had volunteered to come back from the trenches in broad daylight under a heavy fire to take back a message to Battalion headquarters, that ammunition was urgently required.
He accomplished this dangerous duty successfully, being slightly wounded in the arm on the way.
While at Battalion Headquarters where his wound had been attended to by the doctor, a shell struck the building in which he was , a fragment of it hit him on the head , killing him instantly.
Had he lived he would have probably been awarded the medal for Distinguished Conduct in the field.
He certainly well deserved it. Since I wrote I found he took a further message by means of which our artillery, which had been firing in a wrong direction, was directed at the proper place, this was the means of saving a number of our men's lives.
Your son was buried vy a farmhouse 2.5 miles south of Ypres; the farm is south of the Ypres-Comines canal and is 1200 yards southeast of "Chateau Langrof".
