Circumstances of Death

Harry is listed as being dying of wounds on 22 Sep 1917 at the 44th Casualty Clearing Stations, Brandhoek. We have not been able to find a war diary for the 149th Labour Company nor any books or online materials and therefore we are not able to comment on how or where Harry was originally wounded.
