Notes
He came up to Balliol in 1907 and joined the Grenadier Guards as soon as he left, hence he was part of the BEF, fought at Mons and was apparently present at the Christmas Truce of 1914 according to his letters. He is also commemorated by a plaque in Salisbury Cathedral (IWM 43632) but is also listed at his old school, Eton (41519) and on 8271, 63829 and 97189 near his ancestral home.
