McLaughlan description of Harold George Blanchard Card's death
No. 2299 Pte. Card, was in my Company. He was killed on the 22nd August 1918, while advancing towards Bray. I may mention he did not suffer at all, a 5.9 shell landing right amongst us, killing and wounding several others. I can only say he was buried, myself and his Cobber buried him later on in the evening on the Field. We have the Map location of the spot; all we could do at the time was to mark his grave by a shield and steel helmet. No doubt by this time there is a cross erected. I believe they have been erecting crosses since we left that part of the country. I wrote to his people both in England and in Australia. If I can clear anything further or in any other case you are in the dark of that I may know please let me know, it will please me much. Letter from: No 2425 C/S/M. McLaughlan. S.J. A.Coy, 43rd Battn.
