Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler could find no further information on this man and could not find him named on any other Calderdale memorial: Malcolm Bull is the source of the extra information. He died in an accident, presumably having emigrated from Elland sometime earlier given he is buried in Sydney and was serving in the Australian Armoured Corps.
