Mrs Julie Barrow and Miss Matilda Barrow,
It is my painful duty to inform you of the passing of your husband and brother, respectively, misters Peter and Frederick Barrow. During an assault on the enemy forces, Frederick was struck by a piece of shell. In an attempt to get his brother to safety, Peter too was hit, and the pair died of their injuries.
They passed valiantly defending the sacred cause of king and country, yet words do not suffice to express our grief over their passing.
Rest assured, the brothers have been laid to eternal rest in a military ceremony alongside several of their other fallen comrades, and their souls commended to the loving care of our Lord. I also enclose a recent photograph taken of the brothers reunited, in the hope that their memory may console you.
My truest and deepest sympathies;
D.L Walsh Chaplain
