Between 1st April and 3rd April 1915, the 2nd East Surrey battalion of 85 Brigade, 28th Division, were in the front line trenches at St Eloi in the southern sector of the Ypres salient. During this time they suffered 22 casualties, seven of whom were killed. Snipers were responsible for some deaths but the main culprit was shell fire. Ernest Burrows died from wounds on 3rd April and it is likely that he was wounded during this time in the trenches. |
