The case of Second Lieut.. Fl. +. Par

The party succeeded in driving the
enemy out Of the line before they
reached any Of the British trenches.
How long Lieutenant Parsons held
the position is not stated, but we do
know that he was severely burned be-

during the time he held the enemy he
received such severe wounds that he
died from them.
