Did Not Survive War

Dear Mary DuBois,

Will you kindly accept my sincere sympathy and condolence in the decease of that worthy citizen and heroic soldier, Sargent Jacques DuBois, in the Battle of Passchendaele. While one cannot too deeply mourn the loss of such a brave comrade, there is a consolation in knowing he did his duty fearlessly and well, and gave his life for the protection of his country and the cause of Liberty. He served very well in the Battle of Vimy Ridge, and he will be remembered. Again extending to you my heartfelt sympathy.

                                                                                                             Faithfully,

                                                                                               Major General Louis Lipsett
                                                                                                3rd Canadian Division, CEF
