⁴⁴ Those who made up ‘the old set’ are mentioned in Jack’s letter of 10 (?) June 1917. Paddy Moore died at Pargny in March 1918. Martin Ashworth Somerville, also of the Rifle Brigade, served in Egypt and Palestine and he was killed in Palestine on 21 September 1918. Alexander Gordon Sutton, who was with Paddy in the 2nd Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, was killed in action on 2 January 1918. Thomas Kerrison Davey, of the 1st Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, died of wounds received near Arras on 29 March 1918. Jack assumed that Denis Howard de Pass—‘our regnant authority on all matters of dress, who is reported to wear stays’—had died as well. He was reported ‘wounded and missing’ on 1 April 1918. As it turned out, de Pass of the 12th Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, had been taken prisoner by the Germans. Following his repatriation in December 1918 he not only continued to serve in the First World War but he fought in the Second as well. From 1950 until his death in 1973 this once fashionable dresser was a dairy farmer at Polegate in Sussex.
