Circumstances of Death

Edmund (Harry) is listed as having died of wounds on 30th April 1918 at one of the 16 military hospitals that were located near the Etaple Military Cemetery where he was buried. We do not know when Harry was wounded, with the 1st Battalion war diary listing casualties on nearly every day in April. Therefore we are unable to describe the events leading to Harry being wounded.
