Previously reported Missing, now Killed in Action" This soldier was a Battalion scout and during an attack on Passchendaele Ridge, on October 30th 1917, he, in company with two other scouts, was held in reserve in a trench a short distance behind the line. After the enemy retaliation to the attack had died down, no trace of any of these men could be found as the trench, where they were, was blown in, and they were therefore reported missing. Nothing further was heard of them until information was received about four months later that their bodies had been recovered and buried.
