Letters from Major A.E. Wardrop and Mrs Chapman (the casualty's mother) asking the Commission for the location of Captain Chapman's grave, asking that identification details be sent to the DGR&E in France. However, several lines of investigation were pursued, including German records, and the Commission was unable to locate his grave, leading to his commemoration on the Pozieres Memorial.
