Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra detail. He won a scholarship to London University and became the Science Master at the school. An all-round sportsman, playing football, cricket and tennis, he lost an eye in a lab accident that initially caused him to be rejected for military service: he was accepted in April 1916. He was lost attacking Vimy Ridge.
