‘Dear Sir, I write to convey my sincere sympathy with you in the loss you have sustained by the death of your son No. 32218 Private C. Wilcox, of which you have no doubt had official news already. He was going “over the top” with his Company when a shell dropped in the middle of the Lewis Gun Section, to which he belonged, and killed him and two others instantly. His remains have been buried by our Chaplain. He was a good soldier and his loss is mourned by the whole Company but to you his father the blow must be heavy indeed. At least he died a brave soldier’s death and did his bit towards the victory that is now in sight. May God comfort you in your grief.’
