Details regarding his fate are elusive, but as Corporal Camp isn't listed in the database for the American Battle Monuments Commission, he is most likely buried here.
The family name, "Camp", is on both sides of the headstone. A photo medallion for Corporal Camp is still in place, but it has been damaged by vandals or the weather. Below is his personal information, with an engraving of a Purple Heart below that:
