Dear Mrs. Barr:-- Just a hurried line to relieve your anxiety in regard to the wounding of your son, Pte. Lorne Barr 727324 58th Bn. I was in the dressing sta- tion when he was brought in from the trenches, had a chat with him and saw his wound dressed. He' has a severe wound in the right arm, a very painful wound, but one which I hope will not give any trouble. 1 wish especially to mention the forti- tude your son showed under the agony of the dressing and while on the journey back to the hospital. I have seen many men suffering from all kinds of wounds, but I have rare- ly seen such wonderful pluck as your son showed all through it. You may well be proud of your brave boy who was fearlessly and faithfully doing his duty in a most dangerous post when he was wounded. Yours sincerely, GEO. C.

He was in the line with the 83rd entrenching battalion. Some of our company's boys are in one of Fritz's dug-outs and by the look of the place he was quite comfortable last winter.
