He was 39 and left a widow, Margaret Isabella Danby of Rainhill, Lancashire.
He was accepted for commemoration as war dead on 13th February 2015, and his name was immediately added to the United Kingdom Book of Remembrance.
The United Kingdom Book of Remembrance commemorates United Kingdom casualties of the two World Wars who were not formerly recorded by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The men and women remembered on it are recent additions to the list of war dead and are presently commemorated solely by their database record and register entry. The register is maintained at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Head Office, Maidenhead, and the names will remain recorded there until such time as The Commission has investigated the grave location details. In every case, the burial place is known but cannot immediately be made public-there are certain protocols to be followed-a process which can extend to as long as 3 years.
As at February 13th 2015, there are 219 recorded casualties.
