Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler were not sure if this was James Schofield Sheard, a Sergeant in the Duke of Wellington's who received a posthumous DCM and is also commemorated on IWM 2689, 2676 and 29419 - his biographical, service and death details as they found them are shown on the latter two - as the school was not mentioned in their biographical details as they found them but, given the forename, his details are shown here.
