A Wounded Tasmanian
Mr. and Mrs. W. Archer are in receipt of a letter dated February 21 from Mr. F. W. Moore, of London, conveying news of their son Alfred, who was then lying dangerously ill in the military hospital at Horton (near Epsom). If this letter reached them and they still had no news of their son's death, he thought they might fairly hope for a recovery. But he was in a very low state, and there was but little hope that his life could be saved. However, he had then lived three weeks since being so terribly wounded, and Mr. Moore hoped Mr. and Mrs. Archer would be spared the pain of a War Office telegram announcing the worst. Pte. Archer went out with reinforcements for the 40th Battalion and was wounded at Armentieres on January 21. If he recovers as is sincerely hoped, he will never be able to return to the front again. Sir John McCall was going to the hospital to see the wounded man.
