*d. signifies that the soldier died but SDGW does not elaborate further. This could mean he died as a result of sickness such as dysentry, colitis, pneumonia or malaria etc., or possibly an accidental death. However, in this case John lost an arm and a leg in battle in France after which he was transferred to Wandsworth Hospital, then Erskine Hospital. He later died of gangrenous wounds.*Husband of Mary Jane Hunter, of Allison Court, Horsman Street, Cockermouth, Cumberland. |

The administrator is in the process of updating all the Lonsdale (11th Battalion) Roll of Honour entries to the new style as seen here in this example. This is a lengthy process and when completed updates to the other Border Regiment Rolls of Honour will follow.
