Can anyone tell me where Bennett Burleigh who was a famous war correspondent and who died died at Bexhill, New South Wales, Australia on June 17, 1914 is buried?

Bennett Burleigh was born and grew up in Glasgow, Scotland.After migrating to the United States Bennett Burleigh in 1862 was hired by the ‘New York Sun’ newspaper and later on the ‘Richmond Examiner’ and the ‘Enquirer’. on Burleigh acted as a war correspondent, throughout the Egyptian war, the French campaign in Madagascar, the Ashanti expedition, the Spanish Riff campaign, the Greek war, the Albara expedition, the South African war, the Somaliland war, the Russo-Japanese war, and the Italian Campaign in Tripoli; retiring at the end of 1913. He died died at Bexhill, New South Wales, Australia on June 17, 1914.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. jamesmgray@bigpond.com
