Circumstances of Death
|
Harold died of Pneumonia on 10th October 1918 at one of the numerous Military Hospitals near Kirechkoi. The following information is given by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. "The cemetery was begun in March 1916, but it remained a very small one until September 1917, when the 60th, 65th and 66th General Hospitals came to the neighbourhood. In June, July and September 1918, other hospitals were brought to the high and healthy country beside the Salonika-Hortakoi road and in September 1918, the influenza epidemic began which raged for three months and filled three-quarters of the cemetery" |
