Australian Red Cross Missing and Wounded Enquiries Bureau Correspondence
Re Pte Larter 2496, 2nd Aust Fld Coy Engrs. He was admitted to hospital 22.11.18 and developed pneumonia (Broncho). He was seriously ill and was not in a state to send or give normal messages. He became delirious towards the end but died peacefully and quietly. I fear I cannot send a personal message from him to his friends and I trust they will understand the circumstances. We did everything possible for the lad, and he had every care and attention that was necessary. He was buried in the cemetery near here, and the funeral took place from the Hospital. His personal belongings were sent to DAG Base, France (information already given) to be claimed by Relations.
