He is not commemorated in Grays or the immediate area, but other locally born casualties who fell whilst serving with Australian forces in the Great War commemorated on the Grays War Memorial are:

Henry C. Aslett

Frank [Francis] Walter Facer

William Mears

Cecil Charles Mitcham

Bertram Neal

Josiah Needham Smith

Albert Stephenson

William George King

It has to be assumed that the following locally born Australian casualties didn’t make it to any of the borough’s war memorials, possibly because there were no living relatives still around in the Grays area when the lists were created.

George Seth Clayton

Jesse Humphrey

John Musgrove

Richard Turnbull
