The details of Lieutenant Reynolds last fight are contained in the follow ing letter from Chaplin George W Sadler forwarded to Mrs. John S. Rey nolds, Sr., by Maj. Anderson Clarkson "Dear Major Clarkson: "There are facts that have to d( with the life and death of your col rade and fellow townsman, Lieut. Joh Reynolds, that his loved ones woul' like to know. "I came to know Lieutenant Rey nolds soon after I joined the regimen and by the time we went to the firin line I knew him quite well. "Not long before we went over th top three enemy shells came over on night and caused a number of cas ualties. Some of the wounded mei were members of Lieutenant Reynolds company. He came to their rescu speedily and aided materially In rt lieving them. "A few days later when we move( up nearer the front line, a shell caim over and mortally wounded one of hi men. He was soon on the scene. Thi shows his interest in his men and hi self-sacrificing spirit. "On the morning of October 9, Lieu tenant Reynolds' battalion was sill posed to be supporting the Third Bat talion, but a few minutes after ou barrage, Licutenant Reynolds' con pany was in the thick' of the fight an soon this gallant officer was a cas ttalty. "It is said that when he was found a dcad German machine gunner la nar his gun about eight feet fror our officer. It Is believed that thi man was responsible for the wound that led to Lieutenant Reynolds death. The death of the German mi chine gunner is easily explained. "So eager was he that speed b made in defeating the enemy, Lieutcn ant Reynolds asked Major Chamblis not to send fighting men with him t le first aid station. Two poles an .i blanket were used in making StretCheler and soon we started to th aid station with this smiling wounde hero. In spite of the long rough, wa over which we had to carry him ato -medicai alt(ntionl, Lieutenant Rey no,ldtK was very cheeriul. lie apolog ized for giving us trouble; lie wonde: cd if his wounds were sulliciently s( vere to cause him to be evacuated. "When I shook his hand in sayin good-bye at the first aid station little realized that a few days late he would sleep under the sod in th land lor which he had so galhintI fought. "A man with a keen mind, a bravc sel-sa( ( ilc"itig spirit has left us. 11 was a good colradle and an exceller lightlng man. His life contributed t t the excellent recori which our divit ion sustains. Memory of him inspire I us. 'Peace to his ashes.' "Most sincerely, 'George \V. Sadler, t "Chiaplaln, Th'lirtiethi Infantry.
