Peter was Killed in Action at the Battle of the Canal du Nord, 27th September - 1st October 1918 as the Germans retreated all along the line. Sequehart was captured on the 3rd October 1918, after three days' fighting, by the 5th / 6th Royal Scots and the 15th Highland Light Infantry (32nd Division). There are now 62, 1914-18 war casualties commemorated at Sequehart British Cemetery No 2. Of these, 4 are unidentified. All fell in the first ten days of October 1918. This was part of the Battles of the Hindenburg Line, 12th September - 12th October 1918 : A series of very large scale offensive operations that advance to and break the Hindenburg Line system. Carried out by the First, Third and Fourth Armies these victories rank among the greatest-ever British military achievements. The German Army fights on but it is increasingly clear that their ability to do so is declining fast. Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and United States Divisions all play key parts.
