The Wingham Advance erroneously reported my Great Uncle's death as being the result of injuries sustained at Vimy Ridge. However, casualty records show that Lance Corporal Goll died during the Battle of Amiens, significantly southwest AND more than a year AFTER the Battle of Vimy Ridge. I'm assuming the apparent embellishment was an attempt to associate a local hero with a notorious battle.
