In case you would like this sort of info. The War Graves Photographic Project have photographed his headstone.
Its a question of whether or not its info you require
You can download this or send for a hard copy, but they do ask for a donation £3-00 for emailed version or £5-00 for a hard copy sent through the post.But they do send details of the cemetery and other info.
