He attested on Bury St.Edmunds. The battalion were in the support line starting to relieve the 9th Essex in front line .During the relief the enemy shelled our leading Coy as it crossed open ground, west of the railway. Not much of an entry in the war dairy, but the shelling explains the deaths of 8 men, none of which has a known grave.
