Circumstances of Death

Ernest is listed as dying of gun shot wounds to the chest on 28 Jan 1916 at the No 17 Casualty Clearing Station at Lijssenthoek. We are not sure on which day Ernest was wounded but as he died at the Casualty Clearing Station it would have been a relatively short time before he died.
