      Hi Stanley. It looks like he recovered from the wound he received in September 1914, then returned to duty before he was killed in action the following year. The Loos Memorial commemorates over 20,000 soldiers who have no known grave, so its likely that he lies with his comrades in the River Lys / Grenay area.
