Between Guillemont and Trones Wood, at 3am 19th July 1916, he and ten men were ordered to garrison a post in no man's land at Arrow Head Copse while coming under German machine gun fire and shelling. He was executed on the same day that my Great Grand Uncle was killed. The firing squad deliberately fired wide but one was not wide enough and wounded Jesse in the shoulder. The officer wept as he shot him in the head.
