Notes
The Roll lists his address as Chapel Yard, Stanground. It records him under the forename George (as which he was colloquially known), but his full name is known to have been John George Alfred.

(N.B. The Roll is known to include numerous errors, including: misspelt names and inaccurate date/place of death, service number/ rank/ 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).
