Memo for Mr BOWER.
The Station Commander at Hucknall has been through to Heyford and has learned that your son is one of twelve killed. The station commander Hayford is in receipt of your telegram, but has had some difficulty in deeling [sic] with this matter. He will send you a wire this afternoon giving you the exact time of arrival at Hucknall but I was told to pass on this information. It will not be until Friday morning early, or sometime during Friday when the body reaches Hucknall. They are teribly [sic] sorry to have caused you any inconvenience, but owing to there being eleven others with your boy, it is understandable that they have had some trouble.
