	Toronto Evening Telegram – 20 September 1917 A few days ago it was reported that Pte. Thomas Glass was ill and his wife has just been informed that the malady has terminated fatally. The blow is all the greater to the family as his letters have invariably been most cheerful and he wrote of playing cricket at the front, being evidently in excellent form. He was an Englishman by birth and came to Canada about four years ago from Devonshire. His widow and two children live at 1684 Dunbas St.
	Toronto Star – 5 October 1917 The faint hope which his widow and others have entertained that a mistake had been made when the report came through that Pte. Thomas Glass of West Toronto had died in France was dispelled yesterday when Mrs. Glass received a letter from sergeant working in the same moveable hospital in which her husband had been employed. The writer said “his dear old friend, Tom,” had been ill off and on for some time: that he had suffered with “trench fever” and that complaining of pains in the head, he was sent to a base hospital, where he died three days later. The same mail brought a most cheerful letter, written by Pte. Glass four days before his death. In it he spoke of being in splendid health, recounted the successful doings of the cricket club, of which he was the captain; and referred to having renewed the acquaintance of Fred Lefite and other old comrades of the Sportsmen’s Battalion.
	Toronto Star – 21 September 1917 Another well-known Toronto cricketer has made the supreme sacrifice. The reported death of Tom Glass, who enlisted with and went away with the Sportsmen's Battalion, comes as a shock to his many cricketting friends, who only last week read a letter received from him by The Star, in which he referred to the success of the overseas cricket club of which he was appointed captain. When the 180th band was broken up, Bandsman Glass transferred to another unit, and, going to France, was dispensary of a base hospital, and in a recent letter received by his wife, who resides at 1684 Dundas street, he spoke of his being in the best of health. Tom was very popular as a cricketer. For two or three years before enlisting he was the captain of the West Toronto Club, and he was generally relied upon as an aggressive bastman, to make runs for his side. It was he who formed, in conjunction with his chums, Pte. Walter Keen and Sergt. Lynch, also members of the western club, the Sportman's cricket team, and it was due largely to his exertions as vice-captain that the cricketers of the basttalion won the majority of the games in which they engaged before they wen overseas. He was a good musician, and was at one time sergeant in the Weston band. He was also a personal friend of poor old Sam Grimshaw, anorther Toronto cricketer who has fallen in the fight.

While closing for the kill at high speed with the SMS Wiesbaden, drifting and crippled between the German and British fleets, Defence presented a target for the combined firepower of the German battlecruisers, whose proximity was hidden by smoke and mist. After initial damage she was struck by a salvo which blew up her after magazine, triggering explosions on the ammunition rails leading to the broadside 7.5 inch guns. Within seconds, another salvo immediately hit forward, and she blew up in a spectacular explosion, sinking with the loss of Arbuthnot and her entire complement of 903 men.

LETTER FROM A BRADNINCH GUARDSMAN.

Mr. S. Palmer, of Parklands Farm, Bradninch, has received the following letter from his son, Sergeant Wreyford Palmer, of the Coldstream Guards, who was killed at Magersfontein:—

Modder River, 1st December, 1899.

Dear father and mother,—I expect you are looking out for a letter from me by this time. Well, I am still alive and kicking, in spite of the Boer fire. We had a battle on the 23rd at Belmont—very stiff. They were posted on the hills under cover, and we had to advance across an open plain under fire. It was a bit lively with the bullets whistling around you. My Company got across without losing a man, and climbed the hill and took it. We won the battle and took all their camp in four hours. That was our first fight. Our next fight was two days after, but as we were guarding the convoy we did not get much fighting, but our last fight at this place (Modder River) on the 28th was a scorcher. We advanced in three columns from our camp about 5 30 a.m., and found the Boers entrenched in a very strong position in a village. They placed a gun away on the right to draw the artillery fire away from the village, which, sorry to say, they succeeded in doing. We, not knowing they were so strongly entrenched, marched almost on them. But what a reception we had ! The ScotslGuards (No. 1 Company) got almost cut up, and one shell burst on the machine gun, shattering it and killing all the men. We lay on the ground until our artillery could get back and get in a few shots. The 1st Battalion Coldstreams were then ordered away on the right to protect our flank. We had to go about 400 yards in the open across the plain, with the Boers blazing at us with shrapnel and shot. I took my half company across without losing a man. Only one got hit, but we never ran faster in our lives. Then we got on the river bank, a little under cover. We started fighting about 7 a.m. and kept on till dark. If the Boers had had any pluck about them they might have beaten us here, for we could not advance and they would not. They had been fortifying this position, and intended to wipe us out here. After dark we entrenched ourselves and waited until next morning. Just before daylight we advanced on the position to take it with the bayonet, but when we got there they had all cleared out. There must have been hundreds of them killed, as we had parties burying them all next day. Our artillery did most of the work. The houses were mostly made of iron, and they were like sieves after the fight. We lay all day around their position simply pumping lead at them, and they at us. If we got up from the ground a volley would come at us, and it was like committing suicide to move. One shell burst over my half company, wounding an officer and three men. I lay flat on the ground, and so escaped ; but it is very uncomfortable having bullets dropping about you all day. I do not think men’s nerves could stand many days of it straight away. This is the biggest battle that has been fought for years. I am in capital health. We are about 20 miles from Kimberley now. We shall advance and relieve it after a couple of days’ rest. We don’t expect any fighting between here and Kimberley. Will write to you again as soon as possible. With love to you, all, from your affectionate son, WREFORD.
