Notes
Ged Martin (see References) offers this brief biography: ‘As Cambridge men, they were natural officer material. A few seem to have enlisted as privates but some of these were quickly promoted. A rare exception was James Harter, an Etonian whose five years in the school OTC would have guaranteed him a commission. However, in September 1914 he enlisted as a private, insisting that 'he must learn his work before he took the responsibility.' He remained in the ranks for nearly two years before being commissioned as a Second Lieutenant, and died in Palestine in November 1917.'
