DEATH OF LIEUT. BUCKNELL.

Mr. W. W. Bucknell, of Quambone, Coonamble, has received a letter from Major Abbey, dated August 12, giving particulars of the death in action of his son, Lieut. W. W. Bucknell, who enlisted from Cambridge University, where he was in residence at the beginning of the war, and had served up to the time of his death. Major Abbey says:— "On the 10th I wrote Mrs. Bucknell, Bedford, and asked her to cable you that your son, Lieut. W. W. Bucknell, had been killed in action on the morning of that date. We had just opened fire in the early morning to support an attack when the enemy started shelling us; your son was controlling the fire of his section at the time, and this one shell dropped ten yards from him. He remained in the open encouraging his men till a shell dropped close to one of his guns. He was killed instantaneously. I got to him within a minute, but he was quite dead. His death was typical of his life all the time I knew him during nearly two years and a half. He came to me in October of last year, when I took command of the battery, and during the whole time he never failed me in any little thing. During the last four months of heavy fighting his services were invaluable, more especially with regard to bringing up supplies of ammunition to the battery over heavily shelled roads and by muddy tracks. He got through with his convoy every night when others said it could not be done. On one occasion I knew when he had many casualties he picked up a man whose horse bad been killed, and cantered with him out of the shelled area. As a section officer he set a very high standard; his horses and harness were always the best in the battery, and his gunners during the worst of times stuck to their guns. As an example of this, even after he was killed and the entire detachment of one gun either wounded or shell shocked, they within a few minutes got together a few men and carried on. As an officer, I can never hope to replace him; he backed me up in everything, though we often naturally disagreed, as he was a man of strong opinions, and had just as much service as I have. He was a staunch friend. We had many ideas in common with regard to horses and men, and as I once spent a year in Australia, part of the time on a sheep station, we had many long talks over happy days. If he lived he would have been gazetted captain in a few days, as he replaced my captain, who was injured six weeks ago. There is little I can say to comfort you in your great sorrow; he was one of the veterans of the division, and was held in high esteem by the senior officers.

Mr. Bucknell also has letters from his son's servant and groom which he especially values, for they testify to the affection and respect which Lieutenant Bucknell inspired in the men of his battery.
