This old map was used by Townsend to locate the proximity of Louis Rivett's burial site. Rivett, who came to China in 1945 with the Friends Ambulance Unit to carry out relief work, died of illness in Southwest China’s Chongqing on Aug 31, 1946 at age 29. [Photo provided to China Daily]

Townsend's search is part of an effort to look for the burial sites of over 1,000 Charterhouse alumni who died during World Wars I and II. Over the past 15 years, 10 alumni have joined the global search and successfully found the cemeteries where over 700 graduates are buried. Charterhouse was founded in 1611 in the UK.
