Notes
The Roll of Honour lists his address as 600 Gladstone Street. It lists him as a Lance Corporal, which differs from official records.
(CWGC records that Private Robert Ashlin Arnall, regimental number 34851, was serving in the 1st Battalion Essex Regiment when he died on 16/8/1917; he is commemorated on Tyne Cot Memorial. When his death was announced on 15/9/1917 in the Peterborough Advertiser, they referred to him as a Private, reporting that he was the son of Mr & Mrs Arnall of 600 Gladstone Street, and that he had been married for less than a year. Soldiers Died in the Great War records that Private Robert Ashlin Arnall was living at Hoddesdon when he enlisted in the Suffolk Regiment, regimental number 32614, and that he later transferred to the Essex Regiment. The Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects likewise record him as a Private, stating that he was killed in action in Belgium, and that his widow Gertrude was his legatee. He was recorded on the Essex Regiment's Medal Rolls as a Private).
