Grave Marker – Work conducted as part of the Milton Soldiers' Project (http://www.miltonhistoricalsociety.ca/military/miltons-soldiers/) discovered that the heastone of Private Kingsbury was in dire need of refurbishment or replacement. This matter was reported to the Canadian Agency of the CWGC in Ottawa (http://www.cwgc-canadianagency.ca). A subsequent site inspection led to the replacement of the headstone in September 2016, almost to the day of the 100th Anniversary of Private Kinsbury's death.
