Circumstances of Death
| Fred is listed as dying of wounds on 30th October 1918 at either the 29th or 46th Casualty Clearing Station which both carried out burials at Delsaux Farm cemetery. We have not been able to establish exactly when Fred was wounded but we suspect it was on 19th or 20th October 1918 which are the only days any sort of casulaties are mentioned during the whole month.
