Uploader's Notes:
The 7 Apr 1917 issue of The World makes note that he was listed amongst the wounded.
1 Dec 1918 - The World : listed him as "ill"
His death was a greater tradgedy in that he was one of the first to enlist and, as part of 16th Bn, would have been in every action from 2nd Ypres to the Pursuit to Mons...to then die of the Spanish Flu seems a cruel twist of fate
