adjutant, Lieut. Tarr, the well known Leicester International Rugby

footballer, was killed by a shell. His loss is deeply deplored by all ranks.

He was a sportsman in every shape and form, and one of the bravest

of the brave, never sparing himself. He was a man everybody would

follow. The most dangerous duties he did himself, and by his example

made dangerous work seem quite safe. Every ofcer and man feels his

loss deeply.
