CONSTIPATED The Telegraph and its staff desires to extend their heartfelt sympathy with the bereaved parents and famâ€" ily in the loss they haxe,sustained. He is survived by his parents Mr. and Mrs, H. F. Thompson, also one sister and one young nrother, â€" who have been liging in Preston for the past year. _ "As regards Percy‘s wounds when he left us, they were slight, in the arms, ~~! not enough to cause death, so if he met his death on the , way out, as we believe he did, he was proâ€" bably killed outright and would not know what hit him and would not suffer. This may be of some small consolation to you. Though your loss ‘~ a great and implaceable.one, we; his pals who have been left to carry on are also the losers, and his quiet. cheerful ways in even the most tryâ€" ing circumstances will never be forâ€" gotten by us, but will be an inspira ‘ tion to us, as we carry on the work which he has laid down." I Last week a letter was reecived from one of Percy‘s pals, Private J. E. Woolner, also of the 118th, in which he stated:â€" Private Thompson was 21 years of age and 8 months when he fell in acâ€" tion at Passchendaele. A letter has been received from a soldier stating that Percy fell just as the objective was about to be taken and he had a very long way to go to the dreulng‘ station which he never reached. The _ parents of Private Percy Thompson, who enlisted with the 118th Battalion, and was a former member of the Telegraph staff, have cow received an official certificate of his death on Nov. 6th, 1917, or since that date. They also received the folâ€" Iowing official letter: Department of Militia and Defence. Ottawa, June 4th, 1918. To H. F. Thompson Esq., P.O. Box 456, Preston, Ont. 127224. Private Percy ‘Thompson, 1 Canadian Expeditionary Force. ‘ Sirâ€"I beg to further refer to preâ€" vious correspondence and regret to advise you that exhaustive enquiries have failed to discover any grounds which would justify the assumption that the marginally noted soldier may still be alive. Owing, therefore, to the length of time which has been allowâ€" eg to elapse since he was roportod' "missing," his death must now reâ€" luctantly be accepted, and, for official purposes he has been presumed _ to have died on or since the 6th of Novâ€" ember 1917. . _ An official certificate of \'meunmp: tion of death is enclosed herewith.
