I was Ev's platopn commander while he served with our regiment, and I am proud to say he turned out to be one of the best bren-gunners I ever' had. He was dool, confindent and fearless. On the afternoon of October 22nd, just before we put in an attack on Schoondyke in the Scheldt pocket, Everette was killed by a sniper while on fighting patrol. It was a task to run a rcute into the town. He died instantly, Mrs. Fisher and I am quite sure he never suffered a moment of pain. He was shot through the breast. I can assure you, that we avenged his death many times that day and since. I know there is little I can say to .ease your sorrow but I would like to say this, Ev made many friends wiiile with us and we are all proud to say he served with our regiment and am sure he shall never be f:r- gotten by us. The Padre buried your son that afternoon and he will write and tell you of his exact resting place, I too, join in your prayer that this will bring a lasting pease to this world. I remain.
