Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)           

The battalion were on the front lines at Houplines from 19 Oct 1914 to 17 Nov 1914 and they were subject of shelling on nearly every day during that period so we are unable to identity the day that Harry was wounded. He would have been taken to on of a number of medical units at Armentieres where he died on 16 Nov 1914.
