Additional Information
*1 there are some contradictions in information. Service number 36291 appears as Arthur (CWGC) and Richard (SDITGW) and the Hertfords Memorial list a P Cushing. However the rest of the SDITGW matches the CWGC & SDITGW confirms that he was formerly 5579 in the Hertfordshire Regiment. His headstone inscription reads: “TO LIVE IN HEARTS WE LEAVE BEHIND IS NOT TO DIE.”
