Notes
The Roll lists his address as 10 North Street. It wrongly records his regimental number and date of death.
(CWGC records that Private Francis William Burton, regimental number 13925, died aged 22 on 9/5/1915 serving in the 2nd Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment, and that he is buried in grave II.T.4 of Merville Communal Cemetery in France; they record him as the son of Henry and Frances Taylor Burton of 88 Nottingham Road, Long Eaton, Derbyshire.
His regimental number and date of death were listed as 13925 and 9th May 1915 in Soldiers Died in the Great War and in the Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects, which listed his father Henry as legatee. On the 1911 census, Francis was lodging at 18 North Street, Peterborough, working as a bank clerk. His Army file records that he was a bank clerk when he enlisted in the Northamptonshire Regiment on 3/9/1914 under regimental number 13925. Having initially served in the 8th and 3rd Battalions, he was posted to France with the 2nd Battalion on 1/4/1915, and was killed in action on 9/5/1915).
