Extract from the book ‘Into Touch: Rugby Internationals Killed in the Great War’ by Nigel McCrery:
By July 1915 [William] Wallace had become the senior observer within his squadron and on 21 July 1915 was promoted to Lieutenant. [William] Wallace died while he was engaged in photographic reconnaissance. His plane, a BE 2c, number 2034, being flown by his friend Second Lieutenant Charles Gallie, was shot down by anti-aircraft gunfire, and was said by one eye witness to have fallen like a stone at a place called Sainghin in France. Both men were buried close to their fallen plane. After the war William Wallace and Charles Gallie were re-interred together in Cabaret-Rouge British Cemetery.
