Additional Information
*1 The John Dickinson memorials appears in various related locations (three in Hertfordshire), the main panel (WW1), from those seen so far appear to be identical, however the ones at relate to Apsley and Croxley Mills (Apsley and Croxley Green respectively) have identical lower panels with the same 17 additional names. They span all four columns of the memorial, above which are names relating to Hertfordshire locations: Croxley Mills (1st Col.), Apsley Mills (2nd.3rd Cols.) and Home Park (Kings Langley) and Nash Mills (4th Col.). Although there is no specific location provided for these names, given their locations, the inference must be that they relate men who worked at either the Apsley or Croxley mills.
This man is believed to have worked for John Dickinson at either the Aspley or Croxley mills(*1).
The memorials record him as Private H J Smith, R W Kent Regiment. He is possibly Private 19617, H J Smith, Queen's Own (Royal West Kent Regiment), but a positive connection to either of these locations has yet to be identified.
