Action : Accident 

Accidents were a minor factor in the casualty list. Our definition is deaths resulting from activities that were not directly associated with 'active service'. We have excluded Naval Accidents which are seperately identified because of their numbers and impact. Many accidents involved the aviators, operating at the the limits of technology.

Lothrop was commissioned in the 6th (Reserve) Battalion, The Rifle Brigade, in August 1914, direct from the O.T.C. Embarked for France in January 1915, he joined 'A' Company of the 1st Battalion and was severely wounded by a shell fragment in his left thorax at Ypres on 3 May. He was admitted to 7th Stationary Hospital in Boulogne and thence to Sussex Lodge Hospital at Regent's Park, London.
