Accidently wounded (am I reading this correctly)

[RaySearching]

Would the pals agree that the cause of death shown on the attached doc is (accidentally wounded)  

or any other interpretations or suggestions welcome

 

I have had a look at the war diary for the period leading up to the 10th November the battalion were having a reasonable quite time 

and were relieved and out of the line on the 10th Nov

I would read it as 'accidental wounds' as well, Ray.

 

He's in a casualty list in the Scotsman of 14 Dec 1917 as 'Died'.

There is a second effects entry under 'Bitter' which definitely says accidental

Incidents like this were subject to a court of enquiry. It’s just possible that something may be mentioned in the war diary of the divisional adjutant.
