Notes
The Roll lists his address as 133 Crown Street. The Roll also states that he was entitled to the 1914 Star Medal, and that he had previously served in South Africa, for which he had received the King's and Queen's Medals.

(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).
