Killed in action
​
His officer wrote to the family:
“Your son was killed whilst leading his company in the last attack.
He was shot through the head and died immediately…I had seen the way he handled his men and gained the confidence and respect of all who knew him.
His men would follow him anywhere…In the action a few days before he was killed he did extraordinary good work and I recommended him for a decoration.
I am only too sorry he did not get it as had been well earned.”
