Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. He worked as a Lithographer before he enlisted in September 1914. He was invalided home after being gassed on Hill 60 at Ypres, almost certainly in 1915, and returned to his unit in March 1916 only to be killed within 6 months. He is also commemorated on IWM 2689 and the Thiepval Memorial.
