for his courage on field and his sound sense and moral behavior under all circumstances I have seen a great deal of him out here bohh during the war and since peace was pro claimed have met officers who commanded the brigade of which his regiment formed a part and many of Lord Kitcheners staff all of whom spoke in the highest terms of him I have ascertained name of the writer of the attack in

wished to see service- I him to the Major who got a Lieutenants com- for him and since peace was proclaimed he has enjoyed a good position through same auspices and partly because he is a Canadian Tbe
