Buried at Cojeul, east of Henin.' His commanding officer wrote: <blockquote> I was very glad to be able to get his body brought in, and he was carried down to a British cemetary by two of his comrades, which was a very fine piece of work on their part, as they had to carry him a long way. I was very sorry to lose such a brave young soldier, who died so gallantly for his country. </blockquote> [Extracted from: De Ruvigny's Roll of Honour 1914-1919]
