Circumstances of Death
| Frank is listed as dying of wounds received in action on 24 Nov 1917 at one of the 4th, 41st or 61st Casualty Clearing Stations at Dozinghem. The 6th Battalion war diary does not specifically state when Capt Neville was wounded and therefore we have not, as yet, transcribed the relevant war diary entry. |
