- Inscription: Dear Madam I send these few lines to let you know that the parcel arrived here but I am very sorry to inform you that your son is, up to the present, missing, we were in the trenches on the 8th when we were attacked by the Germans, of 143 there was 70 left when we came out at night, we were forced to retire, as the people on our left, left their trench early in the fight. Your son was by me in the trench until he got moved to make up a weakened part. He had not been hit, and was one of the coolest men in the trench, so do not give up hope yet, and if you hear from him, will you please let me know, the parcel was shared among the few of his Platoon that were left, i hope you will not mind, as it is the C. Officers order. My address is 9340 L/Cpl F Walker A Coy 1st KOYLI 83rd Brigade 28th Division Exp. Force. I will close now hoping with you for the best F. Walker
