125158 Pte. Malcolm McLeod Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force 85th Overseas Btn. from:New Waterford, N.S. Canada (d.22 March 1918) My Great Uncle, Malcolm McLeod died of shot wounds to the head, arms and legs on 22nd March, 1918. His Official Casualty Form reports that his wounds were received in action and that the #1 Canadian Casualty Clearing Station tended to his wounds and recorded his death. Can anyone provide me with the location of the #1 Canadian Casualty Clearing Station on 21st March, 1918? I am having difficulties determining which battle that he was involved. What I know: The German "Kaiser's Battle or Ludendorff Offensive" commenced on the 21 March, 1918. The attack was on the British 5th and 3rd Army. The attack was launched in the St Quentin area and advanced to the line of the Somme. Pte McLeod was a member of the 85th Battalion and he was received by the #1 Canadian Casualty Clearing Station 21 March, 1918. My hopes are to link Malcolm and the #1 C.C.C.S. with a location to determine where he was on 21 March 1918. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
