Uploader's Notes: The war diary of December 1915 Vol 4 P 7 lists this man as wounded at Kemmel on December 29, 1915. However the date of death is the following day and the place of burial is not far from Kemmel therefore it would seem he died of his wounds. This fact is also listed on the nominal roll.
Uploader's Research notes: Info from the war diary and the attestation papers. This man is on the CWGC site. [Private Army Canadian Infantry 31st Battalion ]
