An eye witness account , Private Robb , 42nd Bn. AIF :
Location : Ploegsteert 
'I was in a supporting patrol to a bombing party under Lieutenant Jameson on the night of 4th April 1917.
They got up to Fritz's wire and two bombs were thrown over by our patrol into their trenches , when a revolver shot from the Germans hit him in the forehead .
He was carried back by a man from the fighting patrol and died in our own trenches. He was my platoon officer and one of the very best.'
