Notes
The Roll lists his address as 10 River Lane. It states he was killed in action, which differs from official records.
(CWGC records that Corporal Harold Bemrose DCM of the 1st Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment, regimental number 9388, died aged 24 on 13/4/1918, and is buried in grave XIV.F.12 at Nine Elms British Cemetery in Belgium; they record him as the son of Mrs M A Pask of Peterborough. The Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects record that he died of wounds on 13/4/1918 at No 3 Australian Casualty Clearing Station, and that his mother, Mary Pask, was his legatee. De Ruvigny's Roll of Honour states that Harold was born on 21/7/1893, the son of the late John Bemrose and Mary Ann nee Wilcock (who had later married George Pask, with whom she was living at 4 River Lane, Peterborough in 1918); that he had been educated at the Boys' Central School in Peterborough, enlisted in March 1912, served in France and Flanders from August 1914, and died at No 3 Australian Casualty Clearing Station on 13/4/1918 from wounds he had received that day at Wytschaete near Kemmel. On 4/3/1918 the London Gazette had published the award of his Distinguished Conduct Medal: "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge of a party of 20 men. Although isolated, he consolidated a shell-hole position and held it all day. At nightfall he established a connection with posts on either flank and volunteered to attack a machine gun which was causing trouble").
