Charles Edward McArdle
British Army 249th Field Coy. Royal Engineers
(d.9th Nov 1919)
According to a letter from Charles McArdle to my grandmother in April of 1918 and while he was in hospital, he informed my grandmother that he was with my grandfather, Arthur Elgar Taylor, in Belgium, when they were shelled and my grandfather was hit. He told my grandmother that my grandfather's last words were, "I think I'm done." My son now has that letter and it is considered to be a real treasure and we were very happy that she held onto it and it was passed down in the family.
