Notes
The regiment K.O.P.R.N.Y. does not relate to any known WW.1 regiment, but possibly, going by the spelling mistake in the bible quote (ENSAMPLE instead of EXAMPLE), it could be K.O.R.R.N.Y. (king's own royal regiment norfolk yeomanry), that said the CWGC has him as belonging to the 7th Bn. Northamptonshire Regiment. His date of death on the gravestone 25/01/1917 also differs from the CWGC's date of 26/01/1917.
