A small village little over a mile west of St. Fagans. Serving with the 7th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, he was killed on 20 July, 1918 and buried at Marfaux British Cemetery on the Marne. It was under the leadership of French guides that on 20 July, the 7th Argylls assembled near Nanteuil to take part in an attack towards the German line in front of Sarcy. Advancing in artillery formation little progress was made as the Battalion, with just a few Seaforths, took over the whole, recently captured, Brigade front. The troops going forward under heavy and costly machine gun fire. During the afternoon there would be even more casualties as the enemy made vigorous attempts to gain back what they had lost.
