Friday January 18, 1918 Mrs. E.C. Knight of Gymbowen, whose son, Private A.C.Knight, lost his life on active service, has received the following sympathetic letter from Lt. Parker of the 60th Battalion. On behalf of the Officers, N.C.O's, and men of A company, I wish to express our deepest sympathy with you in the loss of a comrade, poor boy (2184), Private A.C.Knight. On the morning of 10th October; 1917, we were on Anzac Ridge, and an enemy shell burst on the trench where your son was standing, he was buried. When we were able to dig him out there was no movement, but he was taken immediately to the dressing station. The Doctor stated that he had passed away. He was buried by the medical Officer. It was his first time in the line, yet he was very brave and never flinched from duty. We have lost a faithful comrade and feel keenly your loss. He has passed away in a worthy cause---for liberty and righteousness. Each man of us is willing to give life itself if need be for those in the homeland. He has gone to his reward for work well done. With deepest sympathy, your representative in the A.I.F. Daryl Crabtree Gladstone C. Qld Australia
