KILLED IN ACTION
The following letter has been received by Mrs Frazer, of Hampton Court, Morpeth, from Sec. Lieut. Staley, relative to the death of her husband, who was killed in action on October 1st:-
Dear Mrs Frazer.- I am very sorry to inform you that your husband died from wounds received from a German shell on October 1st. He was with a Lewis gun team at the time, when a shell fell into the middle of them, killing three and wounding the remainder. He was taken to hospital immediately he was hit and I know that everything possible was done for him.
He has been with this Coy. quite a long time and his loss is felt very much by officers and comrades. I feel there is very little I can do to help you during such a time as this; in fact there does not seen anything at all.
You will probably wish to know where your husband was buried; his grave is at Locre. I shall be very glad to tell you anything I possibly can if you will let me know what it is.
Mrs Frazer is a daughter of Mr J. Cairns, of Middle Greens, Morpeth. Prior to enlistment Private Frazer lived at Guide Post, Choppington, and was employed at Choppington Colliery.
Isaac Frazer is remembered at Choppington on C36.01 and C36.04
