Burial/memorial information
When he arrived in France he was sent as a reinforcement to the 22nd French Canadian Battalion but after a month and a half, possibly due to a language problem, he was transferred to the 24th Battalion, an English speaking unit.
On November 7th, 1918, in the French village of Baisieux, he was hit with multiple shrapnel wounds to his legs, thighs and face, as well as being gassed. He was evacuated to No. 18 General Hospital in Camiers and died there of his wounds and pneumonia due to the effect of the gas.
