Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. He is also commemorated on IWM 596 and 2651 and his biographical, service and death details as they found them are shown on the latter. He appears to be named twice on this memorial, as John and John W: it is thought the former should be Fred and it is entered here as such.
