    “I have seen his grave in the Military Cemetery at Grevillers. There is a cross with his name on. “Died of Wounds” is on the cross. He was a particular pal of mine. His name is Angus and he was working for a butcher at Cranbourne, Victoria when I first met him, that was about six months before War started. He was in A. Coy., 3 Plat”. (A. BG. Baker, 1782, No. 11 Convalescent Camp, Rouen)
