Any further communication on this subject should be addressed to—
THE SECRETARY,
and the following number quoted:--
CCM/122/70693.
13th August, 1921.
Sir ,
In reply to your letter of the 26th ultimo, I regret to say that the grave of Private W.R. Gullen has not yet been located but enquiries are being made, and I will write to you again if I am able to obtain any information.
I am unable to say at present whether your brother’s name appears on a memorial, but it is the intention of the Commission to erect memorials to those officers and men whose graves cannot be found.
The precise form which this memorial will take is not yet decided, but you may rest assured that the dead who have no known resting place will be honoured equally with the others, and that each case will be dealt with upon full consideration of its merits as regards the site and the place of the memorial.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
[signature]
for Principal Assistant Secretary.
F.C. Gullen, Esq.,
Richmond Buildings,
33, Richmond Street, West, Toronto,
Canada.
