Patrick died of wounds on 30 July 1917 and is buried in the Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery in Belgium. Although Soldiers Died in the Great War states that Patrick was born and enlisted in Barony, Glasgow the Commonwealth War Graves Commission database states that he was the “adopted son of Emma M. Pullin, of Ardleigh Court Cottage, Ardleigh, Colchester.”
