Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. He was originally from Todmorden, had moved around the area, perhaps as a result of his father being a detective sergeant, and was working for a bakery firm when he enlisted in May 1915. He served in Ehgypt before being killed on the Somme and is also commemorated on IWM 2689 and 2224 as well as the Thiepval Memorial.
