Service History |
A letter from the officer commanding the Honourable Artillery Company says that while Mr Holman was on sentry duty on February 17th he was killed by a stray shot. A comrade writes: “His first thought was that most evidently he must warn the guard; this he did, becoming unconscious immediately afterwards.” |
