Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler but mainly Malcolm Bull provide the extra details. He worked as a cotton weaver before the war and was the brother of Joseph, a WW1 casualty who is also commemorated here. He appears to have survived the war but CWGC lists him and so it is assumed his death does reflect his service.
