Private (Constable) W. J. Henderson's cause of death is listed as menengitis. He is buried in a Canadian Plot in the Russian Naval Cemetery, Cherkov, Russia -- which is about 3 miles to the southeast of Vladivostok. He was a great uncle to RCMP Reg.#16768, Vet. 'Bud' Squair (engaged in 1951).

W. J. Henderson is not on the RCMP Honour Roll due to his 'death circumstances' but he is commemorated in Canada's
National Book of Remembrance.

He died on December 29, 1918 -- at 19 years of age.
