Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. He was the junior gymnast champion of Sowerby Bridge and an instructor for the local boy's brigade before he enlisted in August 1914. He was also the brother of Vernon, who is also commemorated here, and was killed by a bullet to his head as he served alongside Vernon: this was the only Calderdale memorial the brothers were found to be named on.
