Notes
The school website (see References) provides the extra service, name and death details and provides this brief biographical detail: 'Charles Breary was born in London and was at Douai (England) 1906-1912. Cemetery: Lijssenthoek (XII.B.10)'. CWGC agree all details: it is not clear why the memorial lists him as serving with the RFA but 41437 states RFA too.
