Notes
The Roll includes this entry for Walter W Smith, whose address it records as 10 Bread Street, and who it states died on 12/3/1915 of wounds he received at Neuve Chapelle.
[In fact, whilst Walter William Smith was indeed wounded in that Battle, he actually recovered from those injuries, and survived the War; his inclusion on this Roll of Honour therefore presumably arose from a misunderstanding. On 3/4/1915 the Peterborough Standard reported: ' A Peterborough boy who was at Neuve Chapelle. and is now home on leave, is Drummer Walter Smith, of Bread Street, Fletton, son of the late Fireman G. Smith. Twenty-six years of age, Drummer Smith enlisted in the 2nd Bedfordshire Regiment eight years last January, and served with them at Malta and South Africa. It was only in September the Regiment came back from the latter place to go to the Front, and he visited his home on 24 hour's leave. At Neuve Chapelle, when in a reserve trench, a shell burst over them and a piece went through Smith's canvas equipment, bruising his chest, and making a severe cut across his nose. He was hit about 9.30 in the morning, and had to lie in the trench until 6.30 at night. He was then picked up by the ambulance and eventually brought to a hospital in Kent, whence he was allowed to come home on leave for 14 days on Monday. Smith has two other brothers serving, one in the Hunts Cyclist Battalion, and the other in the Peterborough Battery R.F.A. (T), while his elder brother served in the South African War'. Walter was the son of George and Carlotte Smith; his brother Joseph Henry Smith did die in WW1, and was rightly listed on the Roll].
(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).
