In November 2011 Captain Bowes-Lyon's grandson supplied family records to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission detailing his original burial place, and showing that it had remained marked until the end of the war. As a result in August 2012 his place of commemoration was moved to the Quarry Cemetery, in Vermelles, France; his grave headstone is inscribed with his details and the words, "BURIED NEAR THIS SPOT", as the precise location of the grave is still unknown.
His name still appears on the Loos memorial, but will be removed when the appropriate panel is next replaced.
