A newspaper clipping, most likely October or November 1918, announcing
the death of Pte. James Wellington Young. The deceased had resided in
Vancouver British Columbia, and his parents resided in the town of
Chilliwack, 60 miles to the east. It is unclear whether the clipping
was taken from a Vancouver or Chilliwack newspaper.

A "close-up" of the temporary wooden cross that marked the grave of
James Wellington Young prior to installation of the permanent headstone.
While the name (Pte. J W Young) and regimental number (2020825) are
correct, it is interesting to note that the battalion (4th) and date
of death (29-9-18) are not. These errors were obviously noted and
corrected, as all information on the permanent headstone is accurate
