Page from War Diary showing death of Spr. McKeePage from War Diary of 150th Field Company RE, written in pencil by the CO, Major J C Bogle. Entry says "Missing man 64380 Sapper McKee died. The body was buried at the ??? cemetery near Mailly at 6 p.m. on 22nd." The word "killed" has been crossed out, so the circumstances surrounding this death, which occurred away from the front line are very unclear.Contributed by:
