I came across an interesting photo of this receipt in the Lethbridge Daily Herald, September 23, 1915 edition, link.

It seems strange that the newspaper did not mention that only ten weeks after sinking Bankfields Fregattenkapitän Haun and most of the crew of the Leipzig went down with their ship at the Battle of the Falkland Islands.

"I deeply regret that so gallant an officer was not saved".

Captain W M Ellerton, HMS Cornwall
