The
following letter has been received from the Rev. Plowden Wardlaw,

I am very sorry to tell you that your son died about 10pm last
night. I am very disappointed, because I thought he was mending
a little. I don’t think he suffered much. I buried him this
afternoon at 2pm. As his dear mother you have made the greatest
sacrifice you can, and by his sacrifice England lives.
A
Lieut. At the Casualty Clearing Station: Dear Mrs Hart, I suppose
you have heard of the death of your poor boy, Pte. C.Hart. He
was badly wounded in the head and arm. He was very brave, and
said he wanted to get home. He died a noble death, and was a brave
boy. He will be buried beside his comrades in a nice little cemetery.”
