The Battalion War Diary takes up the story:
‘The advance started about 5 a.m., C and D Companies forming the firing line... A and B were Battalion reserves. The advance proceeded in a satisfactory manner til 6.30 a.m., the firing line reaching the nulla near Ismail Jalutere. The left at this junction above the region of Kanli Keupru was driven in, the enemy coming onto Hill 70 & the heights of Abrikja thereby enfilading the left of the Battn. attack... A very heavy enfilade fire from enemy machine guns was experienced & the firing line became divided into isolated groups with no support coming up. A large number of men had been killed or wounded by machine guns. Casualties being officers:- 12 killed, 4 wounded & 1 missing. 20 officers started the attack. Casualties rank & file:- 26 killed, 241 wounded, 131 missing.’
Wilson was amongst those killed in action during the engagement; he has no known grave and is commemorated on the Helles Memorial, urkey.
