Notes
The Roll lists his address as 9 Sergeant Street. [It misrecords his surname as Miles, and his date of death as 4/4/1919; his surname was actually Mills, and he died 4/4/1918].

(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).
