Could this actually be the tomb of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Rogers_McConnell who was an aviator buried "in a meadow between the villages of Flavy-le-Martel and Jussy in Aisne, France."

James Rogers McConnell was depicted on this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/13309331345/ See also www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=7589827 "He lost his life in aerial combat with two German planes, above the Somme battlefields, near the village of Flavy-le-Martel, Aisne ... His body initially laid to rest where he fell, and was later re-interred at its present place of honor in accordance with his father's wishes."

Another photo of this tomb is in www.cvilleimages.com/2014/09/06/the-aviator/ "At first, it was marked only by the broken pieces of his plane. Soon, the French built him a monument and in 1928 he was finally moved to rest with his fallen friends in the Lafayette Memorial at Marnes-la-Coquette, France."
