Edwin died on 27th April 1918 at Exeter War Hospital. His Pension Card gives the cause of death as 'endocaritis'. Endocarditis is inflammation of the inside lining of the heart chambers and heart valves (endocardium), generally caused by a bacterial infection. It is possible that the 'external piles' which caused his departure from Italy led to blood poisoning, which may have led to endocarditis.

Edwin's body was brought home and buried in Ryecroft Cemetery, Walsall
