"Marjason was a friend of
witness and came from Hurstville, near Illawarra line, New South Wales.
Marjason was killed on 27/8/15 at Hill 60 by a shell,
possibly whilst he lay wounded. He had been seen to stumble as if
wounded in the leg by L/C Maxwell.
Marjason's papers were brought
in by a sergeant of the Norfolk Regt. who had crawling out at night and
he sent them to us.
Witness crawled out and got in
Marjason's body and buried it in the Military cemetery and put up a
cross about 3 ft. high with his name o it. There was no chaplain.
(Witness has written to Marjason's people and told them the
particulars and he is also sending them a photo of the grave which he
showed me and it brings out Marjason's name quite clearly.)
