Mrs. Naylor, of 102, Russell-street, Cambridge, has received the sad news that her son, Pte. Leslie Naylor, the 1st Cambs. Regiment, has been killed in action. Lieut. Hopkinson writes: “I grieved to have to inform you of the death of your son Leslie. He was shot through the head while doing his duty in firing at the enemy. I hope it will be a comfort to you to know that he suffered no pain; death came instantaneously. “We buried him the same night on a little hill behind the lines. His friends dug his grave in the darkness, willingly taking the risk. Then, kneeling together in a little trench, they listened while I read the most beautiful part's of the Burial Service. I hope that in so doing I met your wishes. “After the service we covered in the grave, shaping the earth into a mound, and at one end a simple cross was placed, made by one of the men; it bears your son’s name and the date of his death. “I had not myself been with him long, but I learn that he was keen soldier and a willing worker, and had endeared himself both to his section and platoon. “Later I feel sure it will be your consolation that he gave his life cheerfully for his country. In the meantime accept my deepest sympathy!”
