My story
"Killed in Action." Whilst attached as a carrier to a sniping Battery, situated at Crest Farm South West of Passchendaele, on the evening of November 7th 1917, orders were given to withdraw. A hostile Battery opened fire on that particular piece of trench and he was killed with three others.
