St Souplet guidance

[Desmond7]

I have a soldier date of death 10 July 1916 from 36th Ulster Div buried at St. Souplet up near Cambrai.

Would it be a fair to assume he may well have been wounded and captured 1st July, evac'd up to Cambrai base area by Germans (most likely to a hospital) but died of wounds?

Desmond - personally speaking I think thats the likely outcome. The site of St Souplet Cemetery was originally a German cemetery but these were disinterred and moved elsewhere after the Armistice and British graves brought in, so this may not be his orginal grave.

Thanks Johnathan - I cannot come up with a more likely scenario.
