Killed by Shell.—a letter of no small importance, since it tells of the fate of three Cambridge officers, Lieut.-Col. Edward T Saint, D.S.O., Capt. and Adjutant Alec Johnson and Lieut. H. F. Driver, M.C. has been received in Cambridge. It states these three officers were in a dug-out at Battalion Headquarters about nine o’clock on the morning of August 28 when a shell burst nearby, killing Lieut. Driver and another signalling officer, who was with him, instantly. Capt. Johnson, more fortunate, escaped miraculously with flesh wounds, but Lieut.-Col. Saint was so severely injured that he succumbed on the following day. Lieut-Col. Saint was a son of Mr. William Saint, builder and contractor, and was a motor engineer on his own account. Capt. Johnson is the elder son of Mr. Percy Johnson, of St. Barnabas Road, Cambridge, and Lieut. Driver was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Driver, 82 Hills Road, Cambridge. 18 09 04
