Notes
The memorial plaque states he died at Gallipoli in 1916, but various resources record his death as between the 10th 12th August 1915.

One of his men remembered: “Mr Pretyman worked splendidly during the attack, and was the finest chap I’ve seen; the men left in Section 2 (not many) will always remember him as the finest gentleman they ever had dealings with, especially in a tight corner. We cling to the faint hope he may be a prisoner of war”.
