Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. He worked as a shop assistant before he enlisted in January 1915, initially serving in the Duke of Wellington's. He was wounded in the leg in April 1917, transferred to the MGC in December of that year and was killed by a shell splinter during a German attack the following March. This was the only one of their Calderdale memorials that they found him commemorated on.
