I believe this soldier to be my fathers first cousin. He lied about his age (15) to join up when dad and his 4 brothers enlisted. He died in the first nerve Gas attack on the front just outside Ypre. They only had chlorine gas masks. He had been 16 in the June and died in the December. He is buried at Bard Cottage next to the school friend who joined up and died with him.
