Record discrepancy: This entry displays SE/19526, following the current CWGC casualty record. One CWGC grave-registration report gives SE/15926; another, superseded report gives SE/19526. The supplied Find a Grave memorial transcribes the memorial inscription as SE/19326. We have not been able to establish which number is correct from the conflicting records.
