    Biography contributed by Robert Wight

    Parents wrote to Base Records in 1922 requesting a picture of the grave. Base Records replied, 18 January 1922: '... the surface of the whole battlefield has been searched six times, and some places twenty times since the armistice, but it is possible that bodies will continue to be found for years as the work of reconstruction progresses.'
