Covered by artillery fire the Coldstream Guards desperately battled their way forward during the hand to hand fight. Leading from the front and covered by suppressive artillery fire, Cavendish charged towards Mangelschots Farm on Hoekstraat. As the Marquess of Hartington reached the back door, while preparing to lob a hand grenade into the kitchen, he was mortally wounded by a burst of gunfire from an adjacent barn.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1564 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.worldwarmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/20160329_145353_002-1024x576.jpg\" width=\"658\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldwarmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/20160329_145353_002-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.worldwarmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/20160329_145353_002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldwarmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/20160329_145353_002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldwarmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/20160329_145353_002-1440x810.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 658px) 100vw, 658px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Four months earlier on May 6th, 1944, the twenty six year old Major married Kathleen\u00a0at a\u00a0Registery Office, on Chelsea&#8217;s fashionable\u00a0King&#8217;s Road\u00a0in\u00a0London,\u00a0England.
