The Little Corporal was also injured from a poisonous Mustard gas attack just one month before the Armistice which seemed to haunt him the rest of his life, even though he had recovered.

He was a "regimental dispatch runner". People with that job had to leave the trenches and run messages/orders to other units. It's one of the lowest survival %'s in military jobs in history. In battle the commanders would dispatch multiple runners for a single message because only a few would survive. He did it for four years.
