Notes
The Roll of Honour records that he was serving in the 2nd Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment, and that he was reported wounded and missing in 1915; it lists no other details for him. However, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission records that Lance Corporal Lewis Jackson of the 1st Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment, regimental number 9894, died on 27/7/1916. He is commemorated on Face 2C of Thiepval Memorial in France.
Soldiers Died in the Great War records that Lance Corporal Lewis Jackson of 1st Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment, regimental number 9894, was born in Polebrook, where he was living when he enlisted in Bedford. Given his known link to the village, he was undoubtedly the man named in the Roll of Honour as having died.
