Dear Mrs. WARREN:
It is my sad duty to inform you of the death at his station of your
son, Pte. W. WARREN 715315, 25th Battalion on Dec 11th, 1917 at 9:30 pm. As you know from my previous letter he was wounded in the leg, which had to be amputated.
I saw him many times and his trust and confidence were in the Saviour.
He was buried in the Lijssenthark Cemetery, Belgium. His personal effects will be sent to his next of kin in due course by the Military Authorities. This usually takes some time. I deeply sympathize with you and pray that God may comfort you in this sad bereavement.
Yours Sincerely
A.H. DAVON
