C.L.A. Rouillard, I.A.R.O., who was attached to the 33rd Lancers on service in this country. He arrived with the leading wing of the Regiment and carried out the duties of Adjutant most thoroughly. He was extremely capable and displayed military qualities of a very high order – a very gallant soldier indeed. He was killed while out with a reconnaissance in connection with the security of the line held by my division and displayed the greatest dash and gallantry on that occasion and it is on this account that I venture to ask you to let his brother officers in the Public Works Department, Burma, and other friends know how great was the esteem in which he was held by the immediate superior and how deeply his loss is regretted by all who knew him out here. His service has every reason to be proud of his memory. The Upper Burma Volunteer Rifles as well as the Public Works Department will perhaps be glad to get this appreciation of Rouillard’s services.” G.E. Harvey, I.C.S., Asst.
