Initials: P J

Birthplace: Sedlescombe, Sussex

Date died: 7 October 1918
How died: Killed in action
Theatre of war: France & Flanders

Supplementary Notes:

FORMERLY G/12290, ROYAL SUSSEX REGT.

It would appear he enlisted into the Sussex reg with no 12290 then transferred to the Mdsx Reg with no 40312
