Notes
Information provided by Eileen Corbitt, Honorary Secretary and Treasurer of The Old Hornseyans’ Association, states he died of wounds aboard HMS Aboukir which is unlikely as that shipped sank after being torpedoed and she quotes the wrong date (24/4/14): CWGC, listing only one casualty by this name, seems more reliable/likely and their details are used here.
