Private
Carleton and York Regiment, R.C.I.C.
Aurèle walked into a Shü landmine in Overzeldert in Hoogland during a patrol with the B-Company on 25 April 1945. Being seriously injured he was initially taken in a jeep ambulance to the regimental hospital in the (old) furniture factory of Tijsseling on the Wallersteeg in Nijkerk. Due to the seriousness of his injuries he was transferred to the emergency hospital "De Schaffelaar" in Barneveld. That same day, one third of his left lower leg was amputated there. However, he was so badly injured that the amputation was of no avail. Aurèle died of his wounds on 2 May 1945.
