Charterhouse alumnus searches for volunteer's Chongqing burial site

The location of the grave of Louis Rivett, an international volunteer and a member of the Friends' Ambulance Unit who died while in service in 1946, is close to being found in Southwest China's Chongqing.

The discovery was made by a fellow Charterhouse School alumnus, Nick Townsend, on Monday with the help of two books and an old map.

"It is a pity that I couldn't find the exact burial ground of Louis due to the changes of the landscape," Townsend said in an interview with a local newspaper, Chongqing Morning Post.

"But I know his cemetery is within 100 meters," he added.
