A letter From the Red Cross to David Urquhart

The letter testifies to James Urquhart's last actions before his death at Loos. His body was never recovered and my Great Grandmother would not accept her son's death for a long time.

The body of James Lawrence URQUHART was never found but note that, although the witness details all refer to the death of James Lawrence URQUHART, the letter's heading refers to T. F. URQUHART. For his mother - Helen URQUHART (nee MARSHALL) this must have been unbearable and it is no wonder that she found it difficult to come to terms with his death.
