+We did not visit the Cemetery at Akureyri on any of our visits to Iceland so far, so did not have an image of Private McCormick's headstone, nor is he yet included on the "Find A Grave" Website records, but, thanks to the curiosity of Clark McCormick (not a relative as far as is known) on a visit to Akureyri, we now do have an image, and it is displayed above.  Many thanks to Clark for his welcome initiative.

This suggests some sort of exercise accident?
