	On the early morning of Thursday 29th July 1915, just after dawn, he made his customary round of the sentry posts of his company. At each position he stood up on the fire step and, with great caution, peered across no-mans-land to assess enemy positions. At three o’clock that morning, he reached an advanced position of the trench, occupied by Lance Corporal Short and his section. Meaburn stepped up on to the fire platform and raised his head above the parapet. Within a second, a German sniper’s bullet struck him full in the face and he fell back on the sandbags behind. His men made great efforts to help him, but within three minutes he had died.

	Captain Robert Stanton Fieldsend's war diary for for 29th July 1915 "( Location fire trenches 49S near Sanctuary Wood)- Thursday 29 July. Fine day. In the early morning we were heavily bombed with trench mortars and 'sausages' ( black cylinders about 18" long and 6" in diameter, filled with high explosive and a time fuse). Our ~~filed~~ artillery replied very effectively and eventually quietened them. Captain Staniland and Lieut. Fox of the 4th Lincolns were killed.
