Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. He was married, to Mary Jane, and they had a child: he worked as a traveller for his brother in law who was a shuttle maker before the war. The exact circumstances of his death are unclear: he may have been KIA but, as his ID disc was sent to his widow by the Swiss, it seems more likely he died as a POW. He was not found to be commemorated on any other Calderdale Memorial but is listed on the Tyne Cot Memorial.
