Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. He worked as a silkdresser before the war but, as a Regular with 2 years' service, he was called up and was with the BEF in France in August 1914. He caught a shell splinter in his back and died of the wound in hospital: this is the only Calderdale memorial they found him commemorated on.
