What info do you have on Pte Mason? As a descendent, you are in the best position to research his last known address, death certificate etc. Good luck - I hope you find this brave man's resting place.

Volume 7
His real name was " Frederick Herbert Brown.
It is believed he settled in Old Southgate, London. Where he died after a fall in 1936 aged 81.
Research is continuing.
But for a good indepth look into his life, obtain the above book. His life runs from page 34 to 45. Photos of your other ancestors also included.

Many thanks, Littlehand.
Kris Wheatley sent me a copy of her book. I was able to provide her with all the photographs she used but we couldn't discover what happened to Charles/Henry after he left the army, whether he married and had issue and where he died and is buried.
