PERSONAL NOTES. By Wednesday’s mail letters appreciative of the work of the late Lieutenant Lavie were received by Mrs Lavio, his widow. Two extracts are as follow:—Major Thomas, of the 2nd Battalion, Canterbury Regiment, wrote : “My dear Mrs Lavie, —We are going down to the military cemetery in the town this afternoon to pay the last respects to one of whom we had all got very fond. Yesterday morning lie and I had gone round his section of the line, and whilst stopping to discuss the matter of repairing the trench a sniper sent a bullet just a few inches from both of us. I learnt afterwards that your husband as soon as I left him went to arrange to locate the man in question, and whilst doing so he himself was hit. He suffered absolutely no pain. I feel sure that for the preceding two days he knew that he was going to be hit, he having made all sorts of minute arrangements with his platoon sergeant in case of such an eventuality. ... I was speaking to General Birdwood this momiug, who had heard the news of our loss, and lie expressed his sympathy with us and with you most particularly.” Lieuten-ant-Colonel Stewart, in a letter to Mrs Lavie. said:—“His loss will be felt very keenly by all of us. He was most popular with his men and the other officers, very well liked and very much respected. ... I trust you will tako some oonsolation from the thought that he died tho best of deaths ? for a good cause and in the fighting line.”
