Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. He was married, to Edit Mary, and they had a son. He enlisted in April 1917, and he served in Italy, Mesopotamia and Egypt. The press reported that he died of malaria in Alexandria, but this seems unlike given he is buried in Palestine. His brother-in-law, Arnold Nutton, is also commemorated here. Herbert is also commemorated on IWM 2606.
