Document
The whereabouts of Private Carton's remains was the subject of research by the Milton Historical Society in conjunction with the Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group. Using the details in the War Diary of the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles, the WWI trench maps and the newspaper report (see other image) we were able to mark the location of Private Carton when he was KIA. The arrow points to the communication trench where he was working, east of Mouquet Farm and west of Courcelette. We believe his remains are buried in Courcelette British Cemetery but the grave can not be identified at this time. -
