The Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects, which likewise record his date of death as 4/3/1917, state that that his father Richard was his legatee. Herbert was living with his mother Emma at 35 Bamber Street, Peterborough on the 1911 census. His brother Horace Richard also died in WW1, and is named on the Roll of Honour).
