Notes
Hornshaw and Fowler thought this to be John Gordon Hollingsworth who they found to have also been commemorated on IWM 2738 and 2748 and whose details are shown on the latter. However, he served with the Middlesex Regiment and this memorial clearly states his initial to be G and that he served with the Royal Garrison Artillery. CWHC shows a G Hollingsworth who served in the RGA and it is assumed to be him and these details are used here.
