Dear Lady Cantrell

It is never easy to write such a letter to the parent of a fellow officer but you will want to know that your son was a first-rate chap, a crack shot and a good example to his men. I never saw him flinch before them. He knew his duty and volunteered to go on a listening patrol in no man’s land. It takes a special courage to face the unknown in the darkness but Guy was determined to see it through no matter what the danger. The loss of such a courageous young man is grievous to all of us. Conditions were too treacherous for us to retrieve his remains but some of his men went out later to bring him back.

He was given a military funeral with a firing party and buried with honour. I hope this is of comfort to you and his twin brother…
