to Charles Turley Smith - 1915

Description

Just a word to say that George was killed instantaneously. It was a night attack. I had a letter from him two days after I knew he was dead. This is now the common lot. I feel painfully for Peter between whom and George there was a devotion not perhaps very common among brothers. He is that Sheerness. Jack's destroyer goes to the Dardanelles in a few days.
