"Died of Wounds" Whilst taking part in operations with his Company on August 8th, 1918, he was seen crossing from one shell hole to the other, taking advantage of all the cover that was possible from very heavy machine gun fire at a range of about 200 years. Other comrades who had also sought cover in the shell hole he had reached found that he had been seriously wounded in the right leg midway between the thigh and the knee, - the bone being fractured. They rendered first aid and made him as comfortable as possible. he was later take to No. 1 Canadian Field Ambulance where he died the same day.
