Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. He is also commemorated on IWM 2654 and 2660 and his biographical, service and death details as they found them are shown there. He had served in the Scots Guards before the war, hence the error on this memorial: he was commissioned upon his transfer to the Fusiliers in 1917.
