Mijn verhaal
"Killed in Action." This soldier was acting as a stretcher bearer with his Battalion evacuation party at Passchendaele, and while they were resting between Mitchell House and Frost House an enemy shell exploded, fragments of which hit Private Brown in the chest and head, killing him instantly.
