A MISSING OFFICER.

[To THE EDITOR Or TRH " SPECTATOR."

SIR,—Your paper is, I know, seen by a great many of our men at the front, &c. I am most anxious to find out what happened after the fighting on July 14th. The last news I can get of nsy son, 2nd Lieutenant A. B. Marston, was that at 4 a.m. on the 14th ho was lying with other officers and men wounded waiting for the stretcher bearers. One sergeant who saw him was taken away safely, apparently the field ambulance was under fire, and we can got no later news.—
