His death was registered in Bromley, Kent. He had been resident in Buckinghamshire. Without his Army records it is impossible to be sure how he died, but given the date it seems more than likely he made it home from Dunkirk but died of his wounds.   The stone on the right commemorates the 1st Battalion, Coldstream Guards buried in Brompton since 1910 placed by their comrades
