In 1915, while stationed in Egypt, he developed gastroenteritis. Aggravated further by a mosquito bite, the bite wound became septic, and he died, on 23rd April 2015, on the French hospital ship, the Duguay-Trouin while it was moored off the Greek island of Skyros. He was buried in an olive grove in Skyros, and his grave remains there today with a monument. In 1985, Brooke was one of the sixteen First World War poets who were commemorated with a monument at Poets Corner in Westminster Abbey.
