Notes
The school website (see References) provides the extra service, name and death details and provides this brief biographical detail: 'Arthur Eschle was born in Aberdare, Wales, in 1881, the son of Felix, a German clockmaker, and Hannah, a local jeweller. He was at Douai (France) 1896-1901. He served in the Boer War and was promoted to the rank of WOII. He returned to civilian life in England and by 1911 he was a tutor at Clarks College in Croydon. On the outbreak of the Great War, he joined the “Leeds Pals” battalion but his Germanic ancestry reputedly prevented him from taking his previous rank. In August 1915, while stationed at Ripon, he married Bertha Faller. He was awarded the Military Medal posthumously in June 1917. Cemetery: Serre (I.A.4)' IWM 41437 also states he served in the Welsh Regiment but there is plenty of evidence to suggest this is wrong: he appears to have joined the Leeds Pals as he was living in Leeds.
