Your son was greatly liked, and his death is regretted by the whole Battalion.

I hope it may be some little consolation to know how much we all valued your boy, and how deeply his death is felt by us all." <ref>''[[A Tribute to Private McQuire]]'', published in the [[Workington Star and Harrington Guardian]], [[2 February]], 1916</ref>
