Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler did not link him to this memorial, but this is probably Harry Christopher Smith, the only Harry Smith they found from Calderdale who died serving with the RFA. If so, he had captained his school at football and become a teacher after training in London before he enlisted in 1916: he died of pneumonia in Egypt on 20/10/1917 and is also commemorated on IWM 2689, 2722 and, possibly, 69606.
