Gerry,

I don't know if you have found his Circumstances of Death card:

"Previously reported Missing now Killed in Action"

"During operations in the vicinity of Passchendaele an enemy shell exploded in the trench near him, burying him in the debris. When dug out, it was found that there were no wounds on the body and death had resulted apparently from the concussion or from suffocation."
