Details of Death
On the 2nd May 1918 he and five others were sleeping in a schoolroom six miles behind the lines; when a long distance enemy shell penetrated their billet and killed them all. They were buried in a beautiful old French cemetery which is, and always will be, a recognised French civilian cemetery, at Camon, in the Somme Valley, about three miles east of the Amiens Cathedral.
