3698 Private Alfred Preston gave these details of Charles Bateman's final moments;
​"During the morning of October 5th 1918. Capt. Olsen advised Bateman not to go up to the lines on this occasion as he wanted him to stay back for other duties but he was most anxious to be with his mates and he persuaded the Capt. to allow him to go, which he did.

Bateman was killed on the tape by a shell which fell short by one of own guns. He would be buried on the field where he fell at Montbrehain."
