He could have been evacuated from the beach and died at sea aboard a hospital ship. He has no known grave at Gallipoli but is Commemorated on the Lone Pine Memorial. There is no clear indication that Finch ever lived in Bungendore, although his sister did and his father was the acting manager of the Bank of New South Wales at Braidwood at the time of his son’s death. “His inclusion on the Bungendore Memorial appears to be a sign of respect for his family as well as acknowledgement of his sacrifice.”
