Inscription
His name as it is inscribed on the Vimy Memorial. Over 11,000 fallen Canadians having no known place of burial in France, are honoured on this Memorial. May they never be forgotten. (J. Stephens) -
Graves registration form
Notice that the full view of the Casualty Card for Lieutenant Mossom Richard Boyd reports that he is buried in Plot 5 Row A Grave 26 of the Aubingy Communal Cemetery Extension. That is an error, as that is the burial location of Lieutenant James William Boyd of the Canadian Divisional Cyclist Company, who died at the CCS on 4 February 1917. -
