John was buried at Euston Road Cemetery. The headstone states that he is believed to be buried in the cemetery, as presumably the marker for his buried remains was lost at a subsequent point in time after he had been buried here. At the foot of the headstone the inscription, presumably provided by the family as next of kin, reads: I FELL: BUT YIELDED NOT MY ENGLISH SOUL THAT LIVES OUT HERE BENEATH THE BATTLE'S ROLLContributed by:
