Dear Sir,

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 20th ult., and in reply would say that this office has received no information of a sufficiently definite character to warrant any change in the casualty reported to No. 10169 – Pte. Hugh C. Sproule of the 3rd Battalion, viz., “Missing”.

Under these circumstances, and at this late date, I have reluctantly to inform you that this office can hold out little hope of information of a definite nature coming to hand at a future date.

I am,

Yours faithfully,

J. C. Seybold Lieut.

for Officer i/c Records.

DM.
