After less than a month's service with 59 RFC Squadron, Lieutenant Souter was killed in action near Arras. With six other aircraft he went out in the direction of Douai, and none of them returned. After the Germans retired from this front his remains were recovered, along with those of his Pilot, RFC Lieutenant George Tod MORRIS, beside their downed Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8 (#A4190) aircraft. The two airmen were laid to rest where they had fallen.
