The loss has been a very severe blow to his parents, he being their eldest son. He joined up in October last, and was sent into the firing line after only five months training. Before joining the Army, the deceased soldier was employed first at the Electrical and General Engineering and Lighting Co. and afterwards at messrs. Heath and Wiltshire, both at Farnham. Mr J Bruce, collier of the first named, has written in high terms of the qualities of his erstwhile employee, referring to him as ‘the nicest boy I ever had, and the most promising.’ Private Brownjohn, as a boy, was a scholar at the village school, where he was a general favourite. Mr and Mrs Brownjohn have this week received the following letter from the deceased’s platoon Commander:- ‘In reply to your further letter of enquiry, ...I am sorry that I cannot give you better news. Your son was killed on the top of a hill above the Chambercy-Lary road at 7pm on May 31st. I can’t say exactly where he was buried, but it would be just in front of a line of fir trees, right at the top. Your son was very much liked by his comrades who admired his clean healthy manner of life, and I am sure that his influence will still remain, and work for good amongst the few men left, who knew him.....’
