Looking for info on James Nuttall 28013

Any information on Private James Nuttall 28013 20th Manchester Regiment killed on 12/1/1917 and buried at Doullens.
Sorry but that is the only information I have.
I am particularly interested in whether he was previously wounded and at what hospital he was at.

Hi Mack

Thanks so much for the information, that helps a lot.
I have an autograph book with a list of signatures of soldiers from various regiments and James Nuttall has 20th Manchester regiment against his name hence my error. I'm guessing that he was wounded and sent back to England to recover and thats where the young lady's autograph book was signed, perhaps she was a nurse? It narrows down the time period to the latter part of 1916 when he was back in England. He was in the same hospital as John James Davenport of the 2nd (later 11th) manchesters who also signed the book (see my other thread in this section).
Any idea where I could find out more information on hospitals in England where they might have been sent?.
Thanks again for your help, this really is a fantastic resource - great work!   

Cheers
