Record discrepancy: This entry displays TF/47, following the current CWGC casualty record. The CWGC grave-registration report also records number 47 and identifies the Territorial Force veterinary section. Earlier research transcribes his pension card as 37. The CWGC records support 47; the pension-card difference still requires examination of the original card.
Current CWGC casualty record — TF/47 · Grave-registration report — 47 (doc1963164)
