Uploader's Notes: It was during a baseball game behind the lines on May 26th, 1917, that fellow Pte. Clarence McCabe picked up a "blind" (dud) shell, which subsequently went off. The blast killed McCabe and 8 other men. 10 more were wounded. Edwin Payne, who was initially wounded died later, on June 18th, 1917, in hospital in Etaples.
