Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. He worked as a twister and first enlisted when under-age and so was discharged - he was only 16. When he re-joined it was as a drill instructor in Ashford, Kent but then he transferred to France: he was there only a month before being wounded in his right arm, dying a few days later, the Matron writing to his parents. He is also commemorated on IWM 2710.
