Harry Jarrett died from wounds on 10th August, 1917, but as yet there is no information as to when and where he was wounded. 

The field ambulances provided by the Royal Army Medical Corps were mobile medical units whose function was to provide stretcher bearers to collect the wounded and to give emergency aid before sending them back to Casualty Clearing Stations and then Base Hospitals. Working close to the front line they were often victims themselves of enemy fire, especially the stretcher bearers.

36th Field Ambulance was part of 12th Division which, during the summer of 1917 were holding the line east of Monchy-le-Preux near Arras.
