Got it from the roll of honour booklet that Rowley council produced
it says

Horton Henry 3842 Pte 1/7th Worcester 28 May 1915 10 Springfield Lane

and I couldnt see him on anything else.

[Northern Lass]

Right so he is on ....I did this years ago and forgot where I was up to

[Northern Lass]

I have Richard Warby info and the St Giles Memorial info and was trying to merge them all together
to get all those who died on Bcc to remember them.
