Commemorated
Commemorated on the Tipton Library Memorial.

Any other info
The Tipton Library Memorial commemorates G. Kinsey, the 'Staffordshire Roll of Honour' shows Gunner G. Kinsey, RFA. This is an error and ought to show A. Kinsey who was killed serving with the Royal Field Artillery.

Arthur's brother, William Kinsey, was also killed. He was also serving with the Royal Field Artillery.
