Notes
The Roll lists his address as 56 Orchard Street, New Fletton. It misrecords his surname as Aucott, but it was actually Ancott.
(N.B. The Roll is known to include numerous errors, including: misspelt names and inaccurate date/place of death, rank and military unit etc; several casualties were mistakenly listed on it twice [i.e. under their true name and also the alias under which they served]; several other men were listed on it due to the mistaken belief they had died, whereas they had actually survived).
