Sergent suppléant Guy Keating
The file at the ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) Archives has a notation that Sergeant or Guy Keating #73372 drowned in a SAP (a covered trench built to access the enemy front lines). There were 2 separate reports filed in February and March 1917. His body was not recovered at that time but was later exhumed in the area in September 1919. Please see the COG-BR document also uploaded.

Sergent suppléant Guy Keating
The CWGC COG-BR for Hooge Crater Cemetery reports that Lance Sergeant Guy Keating #73372 (Sarjeant is the British spelling) was exhumed from the area to the northwest of Hooge Belgium at Map 28 Sector 28.I.18.9.75.99. He was found with Private Archibald Somers #73187. The ICRC documents state that he drowned in a SAP near Hooge that was constructed to gain access to the enemy front lines. The Circumstance of Death for Keating (Somer's was lost) states that the enemy had exploded a mine at that time and then took the ground. Keating and Somers may have been trapped in their SAP when the mine exploded and were thus found together.

Picture of my great uncle's medals. Sorry about the spelling for sergeant, spelt the English way rather than the Canadian way due to a misunderstanding.
