We were sent out of one small fort and had to dig ourselves in about 100 yards in advance of the fort, and it was whilst doing this that Charlie got hit; in fact, we had just received the order to get back to the fort, and he and I were making our way down a small ditch when he fell; his death was instantaneous, as he was shot in the head. Our ranks were, indeed, terribly thinned by that attack, but as we have been told by Gen. Anderson that it was our brigade who stopped the whole of the German line advancing, we feel very proud, and my deepest regret is that Charlie was not spared to share the honours; but you can all feel proud of him.
