Notes
The school website (see References) provides the extra service, name and death details and provides this brief biographical detail: 'John Cassidy was born in Worcester in 1896. Cemetery: Tourgeville (IV.B.11).' The school and CWGC have him serving with the Devonshires, but 41437 also states RFA. As CWGC say his parents lived in Worcester Devonshires is assumed to be correct.
