Reported Missing
Berman went missing on 28 March 1917 when the battalion were providing carrying parties and working on assembly trenches at Arras. Although it was not known until July, he had died the following day of wounds in St Clotilde, a German military hospital in Douai, suggesting he had fallen into enemy hands either by a raid or accident. For some reason it seems his grave was lost as he is commemorated on the Arras Memorial.
