Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)
September, 1917 was memorable in its first week for a period of hard fighting and strenuous work, strong and successful efforts being made to advance the line nearer to Lens. This period was also marked by a great deal of heavy hostile shelling, both ordinary and gas. William was dangerous wounded by gunshot wounds to chest on 6 Sep 17 and he was taken to No 7 Casualty Clearing Station at Braquemont (Noeux-les-Mines) where he died 5 days later on the 11 Sep 1917.
