BiographyAlbert Underwood enlisted on 25 July 1915 and was shot while advancing on enemy lines. I
Private Dench said "I saw him shot on 19.7.16 at Fleurbaix about 150 yards from our trench. We were advancing at the double at the time and he was about 4 yds in front of me. He fell backwards and said something as he fell but I could not understand what he said. I thought he was killed. The Germans did not come over; it was this side of the River, so he could not be a prisoner. I am quite sure it was Underwood, he was my mate."
