Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. He worked for a butcher in Brighouse before enlisting in 1914. He was killed by shellfire and is also commemorated on IWM 2738. His address was the same of that of William Herbert, also commemorated on this memorial, so it can be assumed that he was his brother.
