Notes
The Roll lists his address as 50 Westwood Street. It incorrectly records him as "John William Gardiner", and that he died on 25/9/1915; his name was actually William John Gardner, and he officially died on 27/9/1915.
(CWGC records that Private William John Gardner, regimental number 14892, died on 27/9/1915 while serving in the 7th Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment, and is commemorated on Loos Memorial in France. They do not record his next of kin. Soldiers Died in the Great War records that William John Gardner was born in London, enlisted in Peterborough, and died on 27/9/1915. The Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects record that he died "on or since 27/9/1915", and that his legatees were his parents: William S and Eliza Gardner. On the 1911 census William John had been aged 15, living at 50 Westwood Street in Peterborough with his parents William Samuel and Eliza Gardner. William John's place of birth was given as Kilburn, London).
