Dear Mrs Pexman

I have just received a letter from my son Ft/Sgt G.T. Welsh, asking me to write a few lines with regards to your late husband, which will I think will be a relief & consolation to you that he was at his duty station in the machine when it crashed & that all possible was done for him until a German ambulance took him to Antwerp, he was rendered unconscious in the crash, & died the same day in hospital without recovering consciousness, – it is a great blessing to know that he did not suffer poor boy.

I trust that you are keeping well, Sgt Langton has now arrived at the same camp as my son.

With kindest regards

Yours Very Sincerely C Thomas

P.T.O.
