Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler and myrastrick.com provide the extra details. He left the school in 1901 and worked for a bank in Leeds before he enlisted in March 1916. He served in Egypt, Palestine and finally France. He was commissioned in September 1917, and this was the only Calderdale Memorial Hornshaw and Fowler found him commemorated on, perhaps because his parents had moved to Grassington.
