L/Bmbdr. Sidney Walker Law
British Army 154th Heavy Bty. Royal Garrison Artillery
(d.21st March 1918)
"Poor Sid was killed instantly about 10.30 on the morning of the 21st March 1918. You will be grateful to know he did not suffer at all. In the evening, we buried him just before receiving the order to retire, placing a rough wooden cross over the grave. The grave is situated behind the village of Beaumetz, about 1000 yards from the Bapaume-Cambrai Road and behind the gun pits".
An extract from a letter to Sid Law's mother from Bombadier Leslie Henry Fisher MM number 147103 of the same battery sent in January 1919.
