Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler recorded him as only commemorated on IWM 2609. However, the unusual forename and the fact that they recorded him as having played rugby (albeit, not football) for Hebden Bridge, suggests it is the same man. He had worked for a fustian manufacturer before the war and died at a casualty clearing station after being wounded in the explosion of a mine.
