Would it be possible to place on this website a map/photo overlay showing the locations of his crash site and his grave?

That distance shot of the monument standing alone in the middle of the field is how you see it from the side of the road. The sense of isolation is intense and accurately captured in the photo. Northern France is so flat it leaves one feeling forlorn. But close to Albert Ball. And the Almighty. Good picture.

Close up view of the marker stone. It is said that there were two markers, one for the nose and one for the tail. Did his plane break up in the air?
