Reeves
Acquaintance, 15th Battalion
Mentioned: 1917 only
Comrades in the field Visited twice at #2 Company of the 15th Battalion in May 1917: lunch, then a game with Futcher, Cosby, and others. Reported killed in a single line on September 19, wedged between Bosche shelling and an evening of dinner invitations, the diary's usual pattern with loss: stated once, plainly, then straight back to the day's business.
