资源简介：
Private Day was killed together with sixteen of his AIF comrades during the German Spring Offensive of 1918 (Operation Michael - Kaiserschlacht) when a shell burst directly overhead killing seven of them instantly. Their names appear on seven Headstones in a single row side by side.
The legend on these seven headstones at St. Pol British Cemetery in St.Pol-Sur-Ternoise Northern France, just 20 miles from Arras, reads:
Believed to be buried in this Cemetery
