Worm was present at his son’s death.

He was beside him in the adjutant’s office as the bayonet wound killed him over the course of the night.

Whatever passed between them in those hours — whatever comfort or ceremony or simply presence a father provided to a dying son — is part of the private human record that history cannot recover.

He was present for the burial.

He made the decisions about where to bury his son and how to conduct the burial.

He carried the knowledge of the location.
