In August of that year he voluntarily reverted to rank of Private and was sent to the 15th Battalion as a reinforcement following Hill 70. Private Bristow was assigned to No. 3 Company and served in the remaining 1917 trench tours –the Laurant sector in September, Avion in October and Lens in December – as well as the battle of Passchendaele in October-November. During the January 1918 trench tour near Lens he was wounded in the thigh by a fellow soldier who accidentally discharged his rifle while they were in a dugout in the front line near Hill 70. Pte Bristow was evacuated to No. 1 Canadian Casualty Clearing Station where he died of his wound on February 11, 1918. He is buried in Barlin Communal Cemetery.
