Burial/memorial information
He stated being born in 1897 and signed « Diyotte » when he enlisted. His name is therefore inscribed « Diyotte » in the Book of Remembrance, but his headstone is engraved « Dyotte », probably due to a request by a family member to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. In genealogy documents, this family last name changed from « Noël » to « Guillot » and then to « Dyotte or Diotte ».
He was severely wounded from shrapnel during the assault on Hill 70, in Lens, on 15 August 1917, and was evacuated to No. 18 Casualty clearing station in Lapugnoy. He died there of his wounds two days later.
