Circumstances of Death
|
Archibald is listed by the CWGC and other military records as being killed in action on 11 Nov 1917, a local newspaper reports his death as being on the 10th. Either way the 11th Battalion war diary does not have any entries for the 10th, 11th or 12th Nov. On the 9th November 1917 the Battalion relieved the 8th Bn Gloucester Regiment in the line taking over the sub sector N of Ypres-Comines. On the 13th November 1917 the war diary states that Inter Compnay relief took place without incident. We have not been able to find anymore information about the period 10th to 12th November in any of our books and therefore cannot give any further information about the details of Archibald's death. |
