Notes
The Roll lists his address as 'late of Peterborough'. It misrecords his rank as Private, and omits his unit/service number. [He was actually Able Seaman Maurice Joseph Bede Scarborough, R/1778, who died 21/8/1918 serving in Anson Battalion, Royal Naval Division, RNVR. On the 1891 Census he and his parents Mary and Luke Scarborough had been living in Lincoln Road, Peterborough].

(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).
