dear Elias,

I was happy to receive your kind letter of the 14th ultimo per King of Lyre and to find you were all well on your side of the Atlantic. I had hardly expected to find time to write you by this vessel but this being Sunday I consider it no less a religious duty to keep up good feelings betwixt those so nearly allied rather than to omit doing so when other days of the week are so much occupied as not to afford time. We are extremely busy at present and likely to be so for some months to come.
has latterly overcome the distress which the death of his poor father had caused and which has so affected his health that I have been often alarmed at it but I think within the last fortnight he is improving in his health and he is a most indefatigable person in business never quiet or easy unless at work; as for myself I am more deaf than ever although I write a good deal in fact all our letters and direct things. I cannot cling to other matters as when fifty years of age. Still there are few who undertake so much as myself at my age, now in my seventy-seventh year. My memory is extraordinary perhaps never exceeded but the heat of summer acts so much on my nerves that I become quite overcome by lassitude and lose all bodily energy.
have not heard from poor Elizabeth a long time since and I must soon write to her, poor creature, I much feel for her. If we were twenty years younger I would have invited her to come and live with us but at my age it appears to be preposterous to think of it. I agree with you that Fanny's being so near her will be a great source of relief to her mind, who I expect will take a deeper interest in her welfare than any other person about her.
the failure of the fisheries on your side we have out stores quite full but the Portugal markets are quite full and results are quite favourable. Of four cargoes I have sent one to Italy keeping three - quite enough.
a sad catastrophe for Hugh and Mrs. Hoyles, the death of their dear child at the interesting age she had arrived at and under such circumstances as to be far away from her parents, and I understand she was a very fine girl, how heartrending for her sisters at the same school.
have a bad year in this country, quite unproductive in olive oil and wine, especially in the former. Salt only is abundant and cheap.
business is Robert Carter doing, his family very large and at an expensive place. My time is so much taken up that I have made an effort to write you, having so many letters to prepare for this vessel and shall have no other before March perhaps. I would send you some little remembrance had I but time to do it and wait to spring. I can only at night find time to write. God be with you. Accept Lucretia's, Henry's and my love, and the same to Ada. With every good wish and kind remembrance to all friends on your side, I am
Your affectionate brother,
T.B.Rendell.

The photocopy of the St. Nicholas Church register seen at MHA is clear enough to show that his second name was spelled Bully even though his mother's maiden name was Bulley.

From Stanley Frost's memoirs:

Captain Walter Frederick Rendell, CBE (later Colonel): Commissioned as Captain 21 September 1914, the first Adjutant of the Regiment. He had been an officer in both the CLB and the Legion of Frontiersmen. In civil life his first job was a clerk in The Bank of Nova Scotia, later entering the firm of W. and G. Rendell, shipping and insurance brokers, St. John's. Captain Rendell was a tall, erect, handsome man of military bearing, possessed good organizing and business ability, highly efficient, and respected in both civil and army life. His services to the Regiment during training days were invaluable. Although wounded twice he never saw the Front Line. The morning we landed at Suvla Bay, 20 September 1915, he was hit by a shell fragment, and evacuated to hospital. Again, on the eve of our attack at Gueudecourt, having rejoined the Battalion only a few days before, he was wounded on the way to the jumping-off point, 11 October 1916. After a few months at the Ayr Depot, Rendell was returned to Newfoundland to command the Militia, remaining in that post until 1923. He served for a period as Trade Commissioner in London, England, and later as Representative of Confederation Life at St. John's. Upon the outbreak of World War II Colonel Rendell was called back to military service, and commanded the local Newfoundland Defence Forces. He died at the early age of sixty-three.

This about the incident at Suvla Bay:

This, then, was the situation when the Newfoundland Regiment landed at Suvla Bay on the night of 19/ 20 September, but we were left entirely in the dark as to what had gone on before. I doubt that even our senior officers knew that a stalemate had existed for two or three weeks. Nicholson's history records: "a guide led the men to a series of dugouts '96 little more than uncovered holes in the ground" (170). My recollection is that each man had to fend for himself and that, in small section groups, we simply lay down in the sand and fell asleep. Shortly after daybreak we were spotted by the Turks and shrapnel shells commenced to burst overhead. We scurried into nearby shell holes, which offered little protection as the drifting sand had nearly blotted them out. Not before, however, fifteen of our numbers had been wounded, including the Adjutant, Captain Walter Rendell. Also, the instruments of the bugle band '96 which really should have been left at Mudros '96 were destroyed. During the morning we were escorted into Essex Ravine '96 well protected from shell fire '96 near a Pioneer Company of the Gurkhas who were exercising their mules.

Frost, Sydney (2014-11-10). A Blue Puttee at War: The Memoir of Captain Sydney Frost, MC (Kindle Locations 2339-2347). Flanker Press. Kindle Edition.

And at Gueudecourt:

That evening the Battalion suffered forty-five casualties from direct hits on the trenches and before noon next day 100 men had been killed or wounded. Major Walter Rendell, who was wounded at the Gallipoli landing, was one of those hit.

Frost, Sydney (2014-11-10). A Blue Puttee at War: The Memoir of Captain Sydney Frost, MC (Kindle Locations 3847-3848). Flanker Press. Kindle Edition.

After he was wounded for the second time at Guedecourt he served for a period of time at Battalion HQ in Ayr and then was returned to Newfoundland where he became the CO of the 3rd Battalion which was held in reserve in Newfoundland and in fact never proceeded overseas due to the Armistice.
