- Mr & Mrs Tiwiti McDonald, of Koputaroa, near Levin, have an only son and 12 nephews at the front. Their son went out with the Main Body from Palmerston North, and has been through all the important fighting. Five of their nephews have made the supreme sacrifice, & one of these was Charles Sciascia, of Koputaroa, who was killed in the lighting near Messines. Mrs Sciascia has received the following letter from her son's company officer, which alone is a fitting monument to his memory. The letter says: "It is my sad duty to write you a message of sympathy on the death of your brave son, Charlie. I had been intimately connected with him for over a year, & in that time I learned to admire and trust him with everything, just as he was admired, trusted, and looked up to by every other soldier and officer in the company. He was one of the bravest, cleanest chaps I have over known, and he should have received decoration after decoration for the work he has done. On the 2nd of August, while taking part in the great battle, he fell. His death cast a gloom over us for long afterwards, and everyone of us will always look back to that fateful day when we lost our bravest and best n.c.o. He was buried by his comrades on the field of battle, with full military honours, and not one of the boys 'eft him without a tear in his eye. His grave is marked, and he lies ten yards to the right of the road at the northern end of the village of La Basse Ville, which he helped to defend. At the earliest opportunity we are going to have a cross erected in honour of one of our greatest comrades.Public - Lorraine Mona - Researcher - 2 June 2024 - "OUR BRAVEST AND BEST."
