Peter Bennett Posted 12 January , 2022 Share Posted 12 January , 2022 I cannot seem to find details of the above on the ICRC Website. He was taken prisoner on 22nd March 1918 and a wound to his spinal cord meant that he was unable to walk. He died on 26th June 1918 and was buried in Poznan Old Garrison Cemetery in Poland.
