Notes
The CWGC website indicates that Private Mansfield is commemorated on the Menin Gate Memorial in Ypres, suggesting his country of death may have actually been Belgium rather than France (as stated on the Epping Upland Memorial). His date of death (31st July 1917) is also the opening day of the Third Battle of Ypres (Passchendaele).
