The setting off of the mine had the unfortunate side effect of alerting the Germans to the LFs formed up in the sunken road and they were subjected to a tremendous cross fire from the front and both sides
He was later killed in action on 18/3/18 and is remembered at the Gorre British & Indian Cemetery
