Before the war he was a Reservist in the Staffordshire Regiment^{[1a, 3]}. When war broke out he was recalled to the colours within a few days^[1a] and from the time he was called up until the time he was wounded he had not come home on leave^[1a].

He was taken to the South African Hospital, Richmond Park, Surrey, suffering from a gunshot wound in the neck, but he died suddenly after an operation on the afternoon of 2nd November 1916^[1a].

The officer in charge of the hospital wrote to his father saying that they had removed a piece of shrapnel from very deep in his neck, lying against the spine, on 15th August^{[1a, 3]}. He improved a great deal after another operation on 13th September, but died suddenly in bed on 26th October, just after asking a nurse for a cup of tea^[1a]. The officer concluded with the words “He died as a result of his wound in action just as certainly as if he had died in the field”^[1a].
