Letter dated the 18th June 1923, from the Secretary of the Cemetery Register Branch noted that the deceased Christian names had been reversed in order. This explains why the Commonwealth War Graves Commission link page goes to a Private William Percy PAGE.
Private P. W. Page's brother-in-law was 2490 Sgt. John Michael Francis Ryan (/explore/people/149230) MM & Bar who survived the war after being a Prisoner of War in Germany for a period of 8 months.
