The Chaplain wrote of him:- “I hope it will be some comfort to you that your boy worthily discharged his duties, and served his country right nobly. He was very brave to the end, as he was always."
“Not sad, but beautiful his memory
So calm, so bright
‘Twill lead us through earth’s darkness tenderly,
Into God’s Light."
