Uploader's Notes:
LAC has his number as 408093 but the attestation form clearly says 408094. However, this number (408094) is assigned to at least two other soldiers, and other forms in this service file give the number as 408093
Canada, War Graves Registers (Circumstances of Casualty) only notes that he was "Killed in Action" at Courcelette
