jbw541 Posted 2 February , 2014 Posted 2 February , 2014 Hi Joe, Some service papers have survived but they have been quite burnt. On the bottom of one page is the Report of Death made by a Lt Col in the RAMC which states, Fracture of Skull, 3.30pm, 4 Sept 1914. No 6 ward, Military Hospital, Belfast. All the best. Joe.
