Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, 7th Hood BattalionEdward Humphrey died of wounds on the 10th of October 1917 at the 4th Casualty Clearing Station from gunshot wounds to the neck and chest, which he suffered the day previously. Hood Battalion had been preparing for the forthcoming battle at Passchendaele by providing endless working and carrying parties and camp-building at La Brique camp from the 8th of October, moving to Brake Camp on the 20th of October and to West Side Canal Bank on the 24th of October. During this period in support the Hood Battalion lost about a dozen men to German bombing and shelling, most probably including Edward Humphrey.
