nd would follow him anywhere. Such men as he are few
and far between. I am certain he didn't know what fear was.
Please accept the sympathy of the whole company and myself in
your great loss. We shall ever honour his memory.

I have been asked by your son's crew to write to you, as I was
his N.C.O. in the Tank. Your son, Lieut. H. P. M. Jones, was shot
by a sniper. The bullet passed through the port-hole and entered
your son's brain. Death was almost instantaneous. I and
Lance-Corporal Millward, his driver, did all we could for your
son, but he was beyond human help. His death is deeply felt not
only by his own crew, but by the whole section. His crew miss him
very much. It was a treat to have him on parade with us, as he
was so jolly. We all loved him. Fate was against us to lose your
son. He was the best officer in our company, and never will be
replaced by one like him. I and the rest of the crew hope that
you will accept our deepest sympathy in your sorrow.

Paul Jones had touched life at so many points--Dulwich College, the
athletic world, the Army, journalism, the House of Commons, and
Wales--that the news of his death caused grief in far-extending
circles. Of the hundreds of letters of condolence that reached us I
propose to reproduce a few here. They are unvarying in their testimony
to his idealism, his personal charm and the nobility of his nature.
Extracts from his last letter, published in the _Daily Chronicle_, the
_Western Mail_, Cardiff, and _Public Opinion_, attracted considerable
attention.

It was with the very deepest sorrow that I read in to-day's paper
of the death of your son in action. As you know, he worked under
me throughout the greater part of last winter. He was the first
subaltern, if I may so
