Circumstances of Death

Ernest is listed as dying of shrapnel wounds to his right side and a compound fracture of the ribs at the North Evington War Hospital, Leicester on 10th July 1916. 

The newspaper article below states that Ernest was wounded in the "big advance" a term along with the "big push" used to describe the Battle of the Somme, which means that Ernest was wounded on or after 1st July 1916 and then evacuated to Leicester before the 10th July 1916. The war diary shows that the 10th Battalion suffered casualties on the 2nd & 3rd July and then on the 5th July they went into billets and reserve for rest and reorganisation and they did not go back into the front lines until 19th July 1916. The war diary entries for the 2nd and 3rd are transcribed below.
