Notes
The school website (see References), confirmed by the CWGC, provides the extra service, name and death details and provides this brief biographical detail: 'Clement Watkin was at Douai (England) 1903- 1907. Cemetery: Foncquevillers (I.L.51) ' It is unclear why the memorial lists him as serving with the Australians.
