Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler were not sure which Herbt this was. One possibility is that this was the Herbert Greenwood who is also commemorated on IWM 2689 and who died as a POW in hospital in Belgium on 13/4/18. If so, he was a Private in the Duke of Wellington's, was 28 and is buried in Leuze Communal Cemetery. The alternative is the Herbt who was a Lance Corporal in the same regiment who went missing SE of IWUY on 11/10/18 - only his paybook was found. He had worked in Halifax before the war and was not married but a message of love was sent by a Miss G Hancock. He was 22.
