Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)           

A newspaper article in the Rugby Advertiser on 14 Oct 1914 reports that Harry was wounded by a bullet entering his lungs via his shoulder 2 (two) days prior to his death on 24 Sep 1914. On 22 Sep 1914 the battalion was at La Cour de Soupir and left there at 1am to march to Dhuizel via Chavonne. They then billeted at Dhuizel for the next 6 days. The newspaper article suggests that Harry was wounded during this march.
