Lieutenant R. Smith has written Mr. A. Masters, of Bracknell, as under:—
"I want to write and offer you my deepest sympathy in the loss of your son, James Thomas Masters, who was recently killed in action. He was under my immediate command, so consequently I saw a good deal of him, and can speak of his many sterling qualities. He was a man I and the battalion could ill afford to lose, being fearless and devoted to his duty. His kindly disposition and cheerfulness under the most trying conditions endeared him to all he came in contact with. I can assure you, Mr Masters, that you have the deepest sympathy of all the officers and men of the company in your bereavement, and we all mourn the loss of a gallant comrade. Please convey our sympathies to the members of your family."
