This man was born in 1900. Yep, 1900.

The area of his death has literary links, "No man is an island" and "Winston Smith", and
two authors (one US and one English) went there.

They went there for the same reason as this man.

If you can get the location ... you should be able to get why its a question on this Forum ... and maybe even lead you to the man's name.

I'll put a 'better' photo up in a moment. It may though then become too "easy".

Those 2 Literary associations with that land? Eric Blair "ring a bell" ?

Being a child of the Vietnam War generation, I remember a scandal about fragging -U.S. soldiers deliberately killing superior officers by throwing grenades. Can't make any other association, however, and being born in 1900 would make this man kinda old during Vietnam.
