Just a small remark: the Adj in "Adj. Xavier de Montbron" should read Adjudant, not Adjoint. It is the second highest French rank under the officers, roughly equivalent to the Warrant Officer in RAF (the highest being Adjudant-en-Chef, equivalent to WOII).

Dear Laurent

Sorry for messing up the French ranks! Thanks for clarifying me!

As Peter says "The body of Karl Vaupel was washed ashore at Dungeness later that day". He is now buried at Cannock Chase 1-3-87, but does anyone know where he was originally buried?
