Pre War
The Soldiers Died In The Great War database records that he was born in Liverpool and was living in St Albans(*1) when he enlisted in London.
*1 Although St Albans is recorded there are a number of St Albans parishes elsewhere in the country and these are sometime recorded as 'St Albans' in the SDITGW database, so further work is required to confirm that he has a connection to Hertfordshire. We leave his name here pending that research.
Additional Information
*1 Believed more correctly, (County of London) Bn. London Regiment (Poplar and Stepney Rifles).
