Additional Information
TO LIVE IN HEARTS WHO LOVED IS NOT TO DIE (Inscription on Private Family Grave).
A war gratuity was not admissible but his father did receive his pay owing of £2 3s 5d. His mother received a pension of 7s 6d a week.
N.B. There seems to be no record of medal entitlement, presumably because he served insufficient time.
