Diehl, who was kicked in action on the 23rd inst., and ask you to accept the deepest sympathy of the officers and men of the 6th Battery in your sad loss. Bombardier Diehl was one of the most promising n.c.o.'s in my battery, and his death is a great loss to the battery as a whole. He was buried at 7.30 last night, not far from where he was killed. The Rec. Mr Green, of the 1st Australian Light Horse Brigade, read the burial service. Before closing, I again ask you to accept my personal sympathy."
