Malvern News, 30th September 1916:
Dvr Garbutt, RFA, son of Mrs Garbutt of Laundry Cottages, Upper Howsell, has died of wounds received whilst taking up ammunition to the Batteries.  The Sister-in-Charge of the Camp Operating Station says: “Everything possible was done for him, but I regret to say he died soon after admission.  He didn’t suffer much pain; he seemed to sleep away, so I did not disturb him to get any message.  I am sure he did not realise he was dying.  I hope it will comfort you to know that he was well cared for soon after being wounded.”  Capt MCH Smith Carrington writes: “The officer in charge tells me your son was most plucky. Since he has been in my unit he has proved himself and a most conscientious and good soldier, you have every reason to be proud of him.”
