It was close to the wood we had taken the night before, so we did not go so far down in the ground when we found we were being fired at from all sides, and there were only three of us left in five minutes, so we tried to move round to the main tunnel, and it was in doing that that Private Carrol was shot through the head. He was as cool under fire as he always was, and had his pipe in his mouth when he left the trench to go out, and sat joking when we were under heavy fire.” Private Carrol _m._ at Hamilton, 21 Dec. 1903, Margaret Ethel (1, Birch Avenue, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada), dau. of Alexander McIsaac, and had two children: Forence, _b._ 14 July, 1905; and Auralie, _b._ 9 May, 1908.

He was buried the following night, and I was glad to be able to read the burial service over him. His grave is close to a farmhouse, and can be easily found. Your son was universally beloved by all ranks in the battn. He was an exceedingly good officer, and his invariable cheerfulness under any circumstances was really wonderful.” Major Bates wrote: “We were ordered into action last Friday to attack the position described to the papers under that date. He led his men right to the front, like the gallant lad he was, reaching his position in safety. He was warning two junior officers to keep down as the position was dangerous, and must have exposed himself; he was shot through the head.” And Lieut. Saer (5th King’s Own Royal Lancaster Regt.): “Owing to the breaking of the French line by the enemy, we were ordered to advance on the 23rd to drive them back and fill the gap. Capt. Carter had brought his company forward in the attack to its allotted position, when he was shot through the head and died instantaneously. I am sure that, could he have chosen, he would have desired no other death than he died. Having served under him for five years I knew his fine qualities as a man and as a soldier.”
