There are slight variances in regard to the circumstances of Clifford Roy Marr's death and varying accounts of the location of his demise as recorded by informants present on the day and held by the Red Cross Society, however, the following account is from Hubert Francis Hartshorn, a gunner with the 11th Field Artillery Brigade, who records that he was an eye witness to Cliff's death.
