Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)
Harry's unit, the 2nd/1st Warwick Battery, were part of 126th Brigade. The war diary for 126th Brigade gives no specifics about casualties or actions and all can say is that Harry was wounded at Poelcappelle and taken to XVIII Corps Main Dressing Station where he died. Because he never made it past a Dressing Station it is likely that he was wounded on the day he died,.| Personal & Family History |
