#Places where soldiers were born, enlisted and died (or buried) have been listed as it was originally published in ''[[Soldiers Died in the Great War 1914-19:, Volume 39, The Border Regiment|Soldiers Died in the Great War (1921)]]''. As a result you may notice some variations in spelling due to a combination of factors including the changes made in the Governmental reform of 1965 and 1974. Some place names changed slightly and some county borders were moved, which either enlarged or reduced these counties in overall size. It might be possible that a town belonging to one county could now belong to another when the borders of those counties moved.

#Much of theMany [[:Category:Military abbreviations: A|Militarymilitary terminologyabbreviations]] hashave also been included here as it was published at the time, for example, the rank '''[[Sergeant]]''' is sometimes spelt '''Serjeant''' depending on the source material. Various ranks have also in many cases been abbreviated, for example, [[Private]] is abbreviated to '''[[Pte.]]''', [[Lance Corporal]] to '''[[L/Cpl.]]''' and [[Company SerjeantSergeant Major]] '''C.S.M.[[CSM]]'''

#'''Awards''' are included if a soldier was awarded, for instance, the [[Distinguished Conduct Medal]]. This field is usually left blank although many casualties of the Border Regiment were awarded '''''for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty'''''. This terminology was usually used in awards such as D.C.M.DCM citations. A full list of [[:Category:Distinguished Conduct Medal Citations, A to F (The Border Regiment)|BorderDistinguished RegimentConduct D.C.M.Medal citationsCitations]] has been transcribed.

#'''How died''' can be somewhat ambiguous, for instance '''[[d.]]''' simply signifies that the soldier died but does not elaborate any further. This ''could'' mean he died as a result of sickness such as dysentry, colitis, pneumonia or malaria etc., or possibly an accidental death.
