He joined my company a year ago, & during that time, by his untiring devotion to duty, his fearless bravery, he carried with him the men the men under him, & won the confidence & deepest respect of his officers. He was buried yesterday, in a little field cemetery close to the spot where he fell & with the full honours of a brave soldier..."2. Sgt.

Blythe, 2nd April 1918, similar contents, 'No N.C.O enjoyed greater love and respect than did Corporal Jay, from the rest of the N.C.Os & men and his loss has been deeply mourned by all but by none more than by myself. I am an old G.E. Ry policeman, a pal of poor old George in civil life as well as Army life ... As soon as I heard he was wounded I went to him at once, but he was unconscious & remained so till the end. He has been buried amongst other heroes, & a nice cross erected over the grave, which will always receive attention from us while we are here."4. Sympathy letter from Major A.C.
