gazetted Lieut., 22 Oct. 1914, and died at Bailleul, France, 12 June, 1915, of wounds caused by the premature explosion of a rifle grenade at Dranoutre, Belgium. He was buried at Bailleul. His commanding officer wrote: “I cannot forbear saying how profoundly I regret his death, and how great a loss he is to the battn. He was the Grenade Officer and had charge of the bomb throwers.
