Name: FLEMING, CHARLES ELPHINGSTON
Initials: C E
Nationality: United Kingdom
Rank: Major
Regiment/Service: Royal Army Medical Corps
Age: 40
Date of Death: 02/03/1915

Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: E. 840.
Cemetery: RUTHERGLEN CEMETERY
As you can see this grave has been toppled over. The inscription to Major Fleming is on the part which has been toppled. I managed to get the following photograph by taking a picture "blind" while holding the camera upside down. This was my fourth and best attempt at getting the whole inscription.
