KIND WORDS FROM A SOLDIER'S BUDDIES
A number of letters of condolence have been received by Mr and Mrs G Helmer from officer's and friends of their son, Otto, who was killed in action in Belgium on May 5 (sic Apr 5). Letters from Lieut J.W. Munro and Capt Morton of North Shore Regiment, of which Otto was a member, stated how well thought of by his fellow men and how sadly he will be missed. He was buried by a Padre of the Canadian Army in a cemetery in Holland.
Another letter from a buddy gave a little more detail. "Otto had been with us quite a while and he was very popular with the boys of this unit. The news of his sudden death came to us as a great shock 'cos we all admired him so much. Maybe you'd like to know how the accident happened. He was a dispatch rider for our Signal Section and he went out in the evening, the roads were bad, and either he or the big lorry struck him on the head. He never suffered, because it happened like lightening. Parcels addressed to him with no other instructions were distributed amongst the boys, one box of chocolates sent from the States has been forwarded to the Red Cross as instructed. In closing I wish to express my sympathy and all the best of luck in the world. May the end of the war come soon. Yours truly - Pte A.J. Frigault"
