Personal Data
Harold was born on 26th June 1885 and was educated for a short time at King Edward VI's High School in Birmingham. He was admitted as a Foundation Scholar in September 1900; according to school records he stayed for no more than a year. This was probably because his father died in mid-1901, his mother died 4 years later in 1905.

At the time of joining the Army, Harold was living at 44 Richmond Mount, Headingley, Leeds. He was employed by Stewart & Lloyds, an iron and steel manufacturer in Leeds. He enlisted as a Private [15/343] with the 15th Bn. West Yorkshire Regiment (Leeds Pals) in September 1914. Just 8 months later, on 24th May 1915, he was given a temporary commission as a Lieutenant with the 18th Bn. West Yorkshire Regiment (2nd Bradford Pals).

Harold is buried in Euston Road British Cemetery, at Colincamps north-east of Albert. He is believed to be commemorated on the Moseley Ashfield Cricket Club War Memorial.
