The Roll lists his address as "Medehampstead", London Road. It records that he died about 9th August 1915; he is officially recorded as having died on the 7th August 1915.

(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).
