Description: | Photocopies of a brief biography, and ms transcripts of letters of sympathy (14pp) written to White's father, Reverend W W White, by his fellow officers and men, and former teachers and friends at Marlborough School, following his death in action at the Battle of Loos (26 September 1915), while serving with 'D' Company 9th Battalion Norfolk Regiment. The letters pay tribute to his character and bravery, and include one written by Captain Duncan Graham, 9th Battalion Norfolk Regiment, describing the events which led up to the charge and to White's death, and the letters are notable for the high regard in which he was held.
