Confident that their son was buried on a small piece of land on the Somme the family bought the plot land and erected a grave and cross. In 1948 the family agreed that the body could be exhumed and interned in Raincourt Military Cemetery. Be with the memorial, the wider area and the adjacent fields were dug up but no body could be found and so his name is on the memorial wall.
