Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)           

The CWGC gives the date of Edmund's death at 25th August 1918 however the war diary states that there were no deaths amongst the other ranks on that day (2 wounded) and that the Battalion was taken out of the line. However his register of effects states that he was presumed killed between the 22nd and 25th. On the 24th there were no casualties however between the 21st to the 23rd the battalion were engaged in attacking enemy lines and defending against counter attacks west of Buquoy and it will be on one of those days that Edmund was killed, when there is a doubt about the date of a death the CWGC uses the latest day possible.
