Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. They were convinced that whilst the local press reported he had served in the RFA (as this memorial shows), other details suggested he was a Private in the Duke of Wellington's. He is also commemorated on IWM 2606 and 2833 and his biographical, service and death details as they found them are shown there.
