This is a picture of his grave marker. He is buried in Plot I, Row B, Grave 10 of the Adanac Military Cemetery, Miraumont, France. It is very likely that Charles was killed less than 300 metres from his grave during an attack on Desire Trench. This picture was taken during a brief visit to France in 2003.
