Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler could fine no extra details on this man and CWGC shows no casualty by this name in this regiment: however, Hornshaw and Fowler thought it could be William Henry, a Sergeant in the King's, CWGC show him as serving in this regiment (albeit as a Lance Corporal), both sources quote the same service number (26989) and so it is assumed to be him. He is also listed on IWM 2648.
