A Grave With My Name: The Quest to Establish the Final Resting Place of Private Charles Wishart
type: Product
description: A Grave With My Name: The Quest to Establish the Final Resting Place of Private Charles Wishart”, presents a carefully argued and compelling case that the unidentified 60th Battalion soldier buried in the Guards’ Cemetery, Lesboeufs is most likely Private Charles Wishart. Demonstrating an impressive command of archival evidence, the author shows how a clerical decision resulted in the incorrect date of death being recorded in the service records of nine soldiers from the 60th Battalion who were killed in an artillery barrage on 26 November 1916. This one decision produced enduring distortions in military records, burial documentation, and commemorative practice, thereby exposing the fragility of official historical narratives. More than just a narrowly focused identification study, the work succeeds as both a detailed exercise in archival reconstruction and a moving reflection on the human consequences of unresolved wartime loss, making a significant contribution to discussions of evidence, identification, and commemorative justice in relation to Australia’s missing First World War dead.
