  has paid the great sacrifice for

  there could have been little chance

  of his being taken prisoner & in

  any other event he would have

  been able to let Mary know what

  had happened to him. I am awfully

  sorry I cannot send a message of

  hope for Mary. I have a good idea

  where he was & so many things 

  might have happened though

  usually there is some trace. Do 

  you know if any official report

  has been made - if not you 

  might write to his C.O. for particulars.

  Perhaps it might be advisable for

  you to do that. You needn't tell

  Mary until you got a reply - or

  if you like I will write if you

  would send me Will's number

  & the name & no of the Regiment.

    No it wasn't a rigmarole it 

  was a lovely letter from my wife
