Lyrics
...And a Cross Now Marks His Place
Dear mother
I regret very much to inform you
that your son private A.G Harrison
was killed in action on the night of the 21st instant.
Death was instantaneous, without suffering.
The Company was taking part in an attack
and your son's gun team was
One of these which advanced against the enemy.
The attack was successful
and all guns reached and established new positions.
Later in the night the enemy shelled our lines
and one shell fell on your son's gun killing him
and wounding a comrade.
It was impossible to get his remains away
and he lies in a soldier's grave where he fell.
I the C.O. and all the Company
deeply sympathise with you in your loss.
Your son always did his duty
and now has given his life for his country.
We all honour him, and I trust you will feel
some consolation in remembering this.
His number was 62732 of this Company.
Later in the night the enemy shelled our lines
and one shell fell on your son's gun killing him
and wounding a comrade.
It was impossible to get his remains away
In true sympathy yours faithfully, War
