This was Chips Adams original grave. Bert Baker was his mate, and carried a stretcher with Chips in France:

"You’re walking through trenches and perhaps the sap you’re going through is knocked down and you go over…now, a fella – an Englishman he was – he was on the other end of the stretcher and I felt it drop and I said ‘oh blimey, get him out over the other side – Chips[‘ll handle] it’ and it was Chips himself, he was shot through here[?]. And I hung onto him and sent another bloke for a doctor and he bought another bloody stretcher. I said ‘Listen! I want a doctor!’ Anyway he had to go back and get the doctor and he stopped the bleeding - of course I’d stopped it – he fixed him up and he said ‘Oh, he’ll be alright’ He didn’t – he died. And he used to – in his spare time, when we was out for a rest – he makes crosses – he was a bit of a carpenter, a cabinet-maker, and he’d make crosses and he made his own cross that was put on his grave."
