Notes
The Roll lists his address as 30 Albert Place, and states he was entitled to the 1914 Star medal. (It also records the death of his brother Bertram). It records Sidney's date of death as 12/3/1915, which differs from official records.
(CWGC records that Private Sidney James Stimpson, regimental number 8769, died on 14/3/1915 serving in 2nd Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment, and is commemorated on Le Touret Memorial in France. They record him as the brother of Mrs H Goodley of 30 Albert Place, Peterborough. The Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects likewise record that he died on 14/3/1915, and state that his father Henry was his legatee. Sidney's Army service file records that he was aged 22 when he was attested on 24/7/1908, and that he was already serving in the Northamptonshire Regiment Reserves at the time, having joined them on 24/4/1908. He served in Egypt from 5/8/1914, in the UK from 17/10/1914, and then in France from 4/11/1914).
