Dear Mrs. Pegram;-
It is with the deepest regret that I have to inform you of the death of
your son,
129733
Corporal H.A.F. Pegram. He was killed in action during
the course of an advance against the Enemy's trenches on April 9th, 1917.
Your son was one of the first men to join the Battalion in Vancouve1; and
his work right up to the time of his death was of an exceedingly high order.
Lately he had specialized as a Scout, and in this capacity had done
valuable work for me. He had that priceless gift of always being cheerful
and seemed to delight in helping his comrades. I cannot tell you how much
we all miss him.
It may be some comfort to you to know that your son suffered no pain,
as he was killed instantly. I trust that you will accept the sincere sympathy
of myself and all ranks of this Battalion in the great loss which you have
sustained.
Yours sincerely,
I.
Allan
Lieutenant Colonel
