Biography

Lieutenant
Calgary Highlanders, R.C.I.C.

On their way to the Winnenthaler Kanal the Calgary Highlanders were under heavy fire and a number of them died on the spot. There were also wounded men.
One of them was Andrew. He was admitted to the No. 10 Field Ambulance with shot wounds in his left hip and left leg at 02.00 hours. He had lost a lot of blood and doctors did everything they could to save his life. Andrew fought for his life, but on March 13 at 04.00 hours he died of his injuries, thirty-one years old.
