    The pages are from the regimental history, Barclay, C.N. The History of the Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment) 1919-1957. London: William Clowes and Sons, Ltd., 1959.

    More than likely, Hubbard was wounded in the action described in "The Boot" and "The Wadis" and died of wounds on March 3rd, but that is only speculation.
