Notes
  • Sources: This Roll of Honour has been compiled using two primary sources: HMSO's Soldiers Died in the Great War 1914-19, Volume 39, The Border Regiment and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission database. This has been done for consistency to ensure that the transcription of the Roll of Honour was as accurate as possible, with the exception of typos that occur from time to time.
  • Place names: All place names from the above-named HMSO's publication are shown with their historical counties, contemporary to the War, and may not represent present-day county and metropolitan boundaries.
  • Attachments: A soldier's attachment to or from other unit(s).
  • Transfers: A soldier's transfer to or from other unit(s).
  • Former units: A soldier's previous military unit(s) before serving with the final unit in which he served.
  • Mentioned in Dispatches: Sometimes shorted to MiD. An individual whose name appeared in an official report, usually written by a superior officer, sent to the high command and detailed the meritorious or gallant action of the individual in the face of the enemy.
  • Newspapers: Additional information about soldiers could be ascertained from various local newspaper articles and press appreciations. Many soldiers of all ranks were personally named in their local newspapers especially when they published articles pertaining to the missing and dead. Names also appeared when soldiers wrote letters home as a way of reaching out to loved ones and/or giving thanks for packages of cigarettes and other hard-to-get items at the front.
