Believed he died in an action near Donbaik, Burma , 1st Inniskillings engaged a much
stronger force of Japanese troops resulting in many casualties many from sniper fire. In early January 1943, a force of Japanese was in a strong position near the village of Donbaik in Burma. D Company of the 1st Battalion The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers had discovered to its cost that the enemy was in greater strength than at first supposed. The Commander ordered the remainder of the Battalion to concentrate and go to the aid of D Company which was much reduced in strength and trying to hold 1½ miles of frontage.
