If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

Accompanied by copies of his Attestation Paper, Service Records, Medical Records and a War Diary of Intelligence Summary. Footnote: Henry Patrick Mangan was born on July 8, 1892 in England. He signed his Attestation Paper with the 38th Battalion in Ottawa, Ontario on February 20, 1915, stating that he was married, that he had five months previous military service with the Industrial School, St. Georges, England and that his trade was that of Painter. He was taken on strength at Shorncliffe on July 4, 1915, and soon drafted by the 2nd Battalion in the French theatre, on August 25, 1915. Mangan was Killed in Action, February 8, 1916. The War Diary or Intelligence Summary documents the events of the day in the trenches near Dramoutre: "Day quiet. At night, attempted to blow up enemy's wire and raid his trenches. German trenches very heavily manned and enemy very much on the alert. Impossible to get explosives under his wire. Owing to night getting brighter forced to give up enterprise as enemy seemed to be expecting us." He is buried and remembered with honour at R.E. Farm Cemetery, near Ieper, Belgium. (COM868)
