After the war Edmund's grave was moved to Grevillers British Cemetery. Unfortunately during the moving and reburial process, it became unclear which soldier was buried in which grave, so all from the Bayonet trench cemetery have their headstones engraved with 'Known to be buried in this cemetery' and placed against the wall.

This is Edmund's headstone in Grevillers British Cemetery. The inscription states: He did his duty and did it well and like a brave young hero fell. Taken by L. Rutherford
