Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)
John is listed as having died on 30 Aug 1918 at the 3rd Canadian General Hospital, Dannes-Camiers because of a Hemorrhage caused by wounds to the mouth and neck. It appears that he was wounded on the 25 Aug 1918 when his service records notes that he was Killed in Action but in fact he was Wounded, this is supported by the war diary which shows that there were no reported casualties between the 26th and 31 Aug.
The war diary shows that on the 25th August the battalion were ordered to attack and capture the village of Favreuil during the Second Battle of Baupume, the page is very blurred and faded and as such almost impossible to read but it is assumed that John was wounded during this attack.
