Tribute to Captain Norman Walker.

The following letter from Major Rogers was received yesterday morning by Mr R. C. Walker, solicitor, father of Captain Norman C. Walker :–

“I am sorry to say I have bad news to give you about your son, Captain Norman Walker.  He is reported missing and unofficially reported killed.  From what the men have told me I fear there is little hope.  Please convey the news to his wife.

Two other officers and myself are all that are left.  The rest are killed, missing, and wounded.  I convey to you on behalf of the officers and men of the battalion their high appreciation of such a gallant officer and our great sorrow at losing him.”
