It is sometimes discovered that deceased members of the Force lie in an unmarked grave when research of their final resting place is conducted by volunteers.
Such, unfortunately is the case of Reg. #5150, Charles Leslie Vaughan..
Vet. volunteer, Merle Armstong learned that Cst. Vaughan was born on April 24, 1885 in Charlotteville, Norfolk County, Ontario. He died on March 21, 1920 in Brantford, ON.
In addition to serving with the North West Mounted Police, Vaughan previously served with the 39th Norfolk Rifles and was with the 100th Winnipeg Grenadiers when he joined the CEF in WWI.
Merle Armstrong writes: 'Unfortunately, Cst. Vaughan is buried in an unmarked grave in Delhi Cemetery, 205 James Street, Delhi, ON.'
A call has been placed to the RCMP asking them to provide a marker for Cst. Vaughan's grave.
