Edward Lonergan arrived in France from England in November 1916. The winter of 1916-17 was horrendous and his 42nd Battalion spent much of it in the front line. On 7 June 1917 at Messines in Belgium, he was wounded in the head and left hand and evacuated to the 2nd Australian Casualty Clearing Station where he died the next day.
