Listed on Brisbane Grammar School WWI board as Arthur Harold Jones
School records list Arthur Harold Jones as having died in Training at Salisbury Plain. There is no record of A H Jones having died at Salisbury Plain, but there is a record of Richard Paul Mitchell dying of chronic Nephritis at the military hospital, Sutton Veny. They are the same person. (He had moved to West Australia, then England after personal issues and had changed his name.)
