Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler can only confirm that this is his only listing on a Calderdale memorial: Malcolm Bull is the main source. He was a weaver who was married, to Alice, and enlisted in February 1917. He only saw brief service in France and was then hospitalised and returned to England suffering from 'mental instability'. He was discharged on 31/8/18 and died at home before the end of that year.
