The manner In which Uncle Sara
condoles and extends sympathy to the
parents of the heroes who huve met
death on the field of battle In France
is portrayed fittingly in n letter Mrs.
John B. Kelly of New York received
from MuJ. Charles C. Pierce, chief of
the graves registration service, Amer­
ican expeditionary forces, telling her
of the location of the grave of her
son, Private Edward J. Kelly of E
company, 165th Infantry, who was kill­
ed in action on March 7.
*
“Were It not for the comfort that
sorrowing people derive from such tet­
ters,” wrote Major Pierce, “I would
shrink from writing you nt this time,
because I know how heavy your heart
must be nnd how terrible It Is to get
official letters that confirm the tidings
of death.
“It Is with much sympathy and sor­
row that I am writing you, and yet
you will want to know that somebody
Is here In France whose business it Is
to care for the graves of our brave
men who have given their lives In the
defense of the world's liberty.
“Your son. Edward J. Kelly, is bur­
ied In grave No. 1, American cemetery,
i Crolsmare, France. It is the province
of this service to guard his grave and
to see that, so far as the conditions of
war may permit. It may never be lost.
“I had two years of similar service
In the Philippines, and have come to
France prepared to give my life If
need be for the guarding of the graves
of our dead and carrying out the
sacred desires of the hearts at home. •
“May God bless and comfort you In
your great loss.”
Major Pierce’s letter was supple­
mented by a communication from the
war department in Washington which
gave more specific details as to the ex­
act location of the grave.
