If you have no luck the War Graves Photographic Project have a photo of his gravestone. It will cost you £3.50 http://twgpp.org/inf....php?id=1064843

Thank you Sandie but as it is for another project they will not allow you to use their photos

Hi Peter,
No photo, but just in case it's of interest the 1931 printed IWGC Register states that he Died of Wounds (gas).

Hi Peter,

Do you still need this photo? I live nearby and could take it for you. I am new to this forum so don't know whether I can attach photos or whether I need your email address to send directly. Please advise.

Regards,
Graham
