"He was a tower of help," he added. |

Pte. Robert Oliver Yule |
"Tired, dusty and hot, men of the 6th Brigade were marching up preparatory to going into the trenches. Bob was superintending the issue of freshly made tea, which made the dry ration more palatable to the men's parched throats. Attending to the hungry at the canteen counter, and, later, unpacking the marquee which was to minister to their recreation, not bustling, but too busy to talk to me except between jobs. Not even the prospect of a yarn with me, his seldom-seen brother, could lure him from it till the boys were served. I can see him now as I write-the sun shining on that hut in that tiny village already fraught with bitter memories for many of the brave boys who went out there on the highest service for King and Country and never came that way again. Now, Bob, too, has joined the ranks unable to serve right through. I believe that he served even better by his quiet helpfulness to all who came his way." |

Dear Mrs Smith, I am sorry to have to tell you that your son, (No 17555) Private W Smith, 9th Battalion of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, was killed yesterday by a trench mortar. I understand he and two comrades were in a dugout near to two officers. The trench mortar fell amongst them, killing all three men and wounding both officers � one of them seriously. I conducted the funeral service in a quiet little cemetery behind the lines. There were a lot of your boy�s comrades there to do him honour, and they told me he was a good boy and a fine soldier. I was speaking to his colonel who expressed his sorrow and deep sympathy with you and yours in this sore bereavement. Indeed, you have the heartfelt sympathy of all the officers and men of the battalion. I pray Almighty God will comfort you at this time. You asnd your son have made the supreme sacrifice for King and country and no man can do more. Your boy�s belongings will be sent to you as soon as possible.
