Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)           

Henry's service record shows that he received a gun shot wound to his buttocks on 6 Dec 1917 and died of those wounds 19 days later on Christmas Day 1917 at the No 1 Australian General Hospital in Rouen. At the time he was wounded the Battalion were in trenches in the Welsh Ridge Sector of the Hindenburg Line when they were attacked by German forces. The attack was repulsed but not before suffering a number of casualties.
