The Commanding Officer

Sir,

I venture to ask if you can possibly give us any further information regarding Pte A.A. Smith No 142687 of the M.G.C. formerly 53^rd Coy 18^th Batt.  He was posted as “missing” as from March 21^st & we have heard nothing more.

Should you know anything beyond this we should feel so thankful if you will acquaint us.

His father is so very anxious about him.

Yours respectfully

(Mrs) J Smith
