Notes
The Roll lists his address as 16 Charles Street. It states he died at Zillebeke (Belgium), but was buried in Bouzincourt Ridge (France). CWGC records that he is buried in Bouzincourt Ridge Cemetery, near Albert.

(N.B. The Roll is known to include numerous errors, including: misspelt names and inaccurate date/place of death, service number/ rank/ military unit etc; several casualties were mistakenly listed on it twice [i.e. under their true name and also the alias under which they served]; several other men were listed on it due to the mistaken belief they had died, whereas they had actually survived).
