Letters From The Bowes Brothers – March 30. 1917 Bramshott, England

Dear Mrs. Bowes,

I regret to hear the sad news of Jim’s death on March 25th and it was sad news to me and his company’s officers as he was so well liked by all.

[It was sad] to me as a school chum and spending the best part of our army life together till he and I were separated on the night of Dec. 26th when I said good-bye to him for to never see again. But he died for the honour of his country, Canada.

I hope you are all well and remember me to Evelyn.

Yours sincerely,

Ted [illegible]
