Cyril Tart with his section commanders in FranceCyril Tart with his section commanders in France. The Sergeant next to him is presumed to be Sgt. Moffat, a Glaswegian tram driver in peacetime. He wrote along letter to Cyril's parents, giving an account of his exploits on 1st July 1916, and of his death that day. Sadly they never met Sgt. Moffat, who is believed to have died of pneumonia in the UK shortly after he wrote his letter.
