Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)
Edward was killed in action on Saturday 19th October 1918 as his 10th Battalion collected at the assembly point for the attack on Selle which took place the following day. The battalion arrived in position at 23:30hrs. The war diary makes only mention of an officer being wounded but CWGC records reveal that at least one other man was killed on this day alongside Edward.
