concerning No. 418 – Pte. G. Rogers, 2nd Battalion
The Buffs (East Kent Regiment). I regret I have no further news
of this soldier. It will enable me to make further
investigation, however if you will be good enough to let me know
the regimental number, name and battalion of the soldier who
informed you that Pte. Rogers was killed on May 24th.
I am Madam 1/c Infantry Records.
