'Died of Wounds' (Accidentally received) - while in a dugout looking for his mess tin at about 6.00 o'clock on the evening of February 14th.1918, a comrade came into the dugout with two rifles and stood them against the rack. One of the rifles fell to the floor and went off. The bullet entered Private Hislop's right ankle and passed out through the left, fracturing the bone and leaving very bad wounds. He was unconscious when admitted to No. 6 Casualty Clearing Station, Barlin, and succumbed to his injuries 4 days later without regaining consciousness.
