Notes
The Roll lists his address as 'Westgate'; it records his rank as Lance Corporal, which differs from official records. (Strangely, the compiler of the 1994 version of the Roll of Honour did not include him).

CWGC records that Private Walter Hubbard,14710, died aged 26 on 15/10/1915 serving in the 7th Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment; that he is buried in grave 6.2.2893 in Broadway Cemetery in Peterborough; that he was the son of Henry and Lucy Hubbard of 50 Westgate Peterborough, and that he had enlisted in September 1914.
The Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects likewise recorded him as a Private, stating that he died in 1/5 Northern General Hospital in Leicester, and that his father Henry was his legatee.
