Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. A weaver who enlisted in November 1915, he first simply undertook agricultural work in Scotland before crossing to the front. In September 1917 he was in Boulogne in hospital with a severe gunshot wound in his knee: he died a year later, presumably from a different wound. He is also commemorated on IWM 2224, 596 and, whilst they were not sure, Hornshaw and Fowler thought he may also be commemorated on 2654, 2660 and 2670.
