"DIED LIKE A MAN."
Cambridge Lancer Killed In
Action.

Mr. and Mrs. Kerry of 275, Mill-road. Cambridge, have received news of the death of their son, Corporal Walter Birbeck Kerry, of the 16th Lancers, who was mortally wounded in action at Le Glairet. The sad news conveyed to them in the following letter from Squadron-Sergeant A. V. Cobb. of the same regiment:

“Just a few lines to let you know that poor Walter passed away on the 8th, the day before yesterday. I was with him on patrol when he was shot, and fetched him back. Poor young Horlock, of Cambridge, was thrown from his horse and hurt at the same time, but he is not seriously injured. Walter was shot about one o'clock, and died about 4.30 p.m. He was conscious up to the finish I was not with him when he died but the two fellows who were with him told me he had a very respectable funeral. He was buried by the side of Lieut. Gough, of the R.A. He was shot and buried at a place called Le Glairet. When I left him he told me to tell you all at home and his young lady that his last thoughts were of you all, and that he died like a man. I cannot explain all to you in this letter, but if I should live to return to Cambridge to see you and let you know all. I daresay you heard Walter speak of me. I live at Palgrave, just outside, Diss, and I know your brother well who lives at Diss. I cannot explain any more now, but will see you if I should be spared. I will close with deepest sympathy, remaining yours respectfully, A. V. Cobb.
