Charles, I do not know the circumstances of your death, nor why your remains were not recovered from the field of battle, but I can still salute you as the brave young soldier you undoubtedly were, who died in the service of his country. I see you were only 17 years old when you paid the supreme sacrifice of the soldier. As a former Lincolns man myself, I know the sincere meaning of the Last Post, sounded in your honour by the buglers at the Menin Gate. My sympathy to your mother and to other relatives who mourned your sacrifice. Rest in Peace. Harry.

Henry Harrison
